| would you mind resubmitting a patch for the version of
| "picobsd" i committed this morning, also keeping in mind the
| following:
|
| * it would be better to define a variable, say MD, which holds
| the string "vn" or "md", and is used in accessing the memory
| device, so we have mostly the same script working on both current
| and stable with just a one-line change.
|
| * you are recursively gzipping files in /etc now, so you should
| also modify the mfs_tree/etc/rc script which decompresses things;
| This might be annoying as gzip is unable to recurse in a
| directory tree.
|
| * re. the CONFIG variable... it does not seem to give problem with
| the version i committed this morning. I think there was a bug
| in the previous commit, but now it should be ok.
|
| * i am not sure the way you handle arguments is correct, from your
| patch it appears that you ignore THETYPE (first argument) if there
| are not two arguments. This is wrong, the second argument is optional.
I have more questions regarding this:
* Do we want NO_SWAPPING on or off in PicoBSD?
I understand that many PicoBSD devices do not have swapspace.
However, my understand of -current is that we do require
swapping to work well.
* Do we want SOFTUPDATES?
* Statically compiling device.hints seems to be awkward.
Perhaps we should be using a customized /boot/device.hints.
This way, many devices can be disabled or enabled easily
without recompiling PicoBSD/xxxx version
