* Add delete-old and delete-old-libs targets:Alexander Leidinger2005-07-231-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - removes obsolete files/dirs or libraries. - works in interactive (default) and batch mode - respects DISTDIR - documented in UPDATING and build(7) The head of the file ObsoleteFiles.inc contains instructions how to add obsolete files/dirs/libs to the list. Obviously one should add obsolete files to this list, when he removes a file/dir/lib from the basesystem. Additionally add check-old target: - allows re@ to check if a file on the obsolete list resurfaces Design goals: - allows full control by the user (default interactive mode) - possibility of scripted removal of obsolete files (batch mode) - opt-in removal of files (explicit list of files) - seperate removal of libs (2 delete targets) Important design decissions: - structured list of files to remove instead of a plain text file: * allows to remove additional files if a NO_foo knob is specified without the need to change the targets (no NO_foo knob is respected yet) - not using mtree like NetBSD does: * mtree doesn't has an interactive mode Discussed on: arch (long ago), current (this year) Additional input from: re (hrs) Approved by: mentor (joerg) Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=148330

* - Remove the pccard_ifconfig variable in favor of a newBrooks Davis2005-06-301-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ifconfig_DEFAULT variable. Unlike pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT applies to all interfaces that do not specify an ifconfig_<ifn> variable rather than just those listed in removable_interfaces. - Correct the list of interfaces when network_interfaces and removable_interfaces are both set by including removable_interfaces in the list of canidates. - When listing dhcp interfaces, include those with other ifconfig options so nat works.

* Change the definition of struct if_data's member ifi_epoch from wallBrooks Davis2005-02-251-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | clock time to uptime because wall clock time may go backwards. This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using ifi_epoch to set RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime. None are know to exist today. This will not impact applications that are using the <index, epoch> tuple to verify interface uniqueness except that it eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness. Because this is a behavior change, bump __FreeBSD_version.

* Remove RFC1644 T/TCP support from the TCP side of the network stack.Andre Oppermann2004-11-021-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A complete rationale and discussion is given in this message and the resulting discussion: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4177C8AD.6060706 Note that this commit removes only the functional part of T/TCP from the tcp_* related functions in the kernel. Other features introduced with RFC1644 are left intact (socket layer changes, sendmsg(2) on connection oriented protocols) and are meant to be reused by a simpler and less intrusive reimplemention of the previous T/TCP functionality.
