: i'm not sure how much i'm liking this proliferation of top-level
: documentation. can't we create a src/docs and shove all these
: in there now?
Well, the intent is to do away with UPDATING entirely when everything is
switched to the new toolchain. The top-level location of this document is
rather important, as it is *the* documentation for the entrypoint into
building NetBSD from source.
hmm, UPDATING will still be useful for building kernels.
I'm not entirely sure how confusing it would be to move BUILDING.* and
UPDATING into a path such as src/doc, but I know that moving them to
src/share/doc is out of the question. This document has to be somewhere in
close reach of the top level Makefile and build.sh.
i guess i mostly object to having multiple (generated!) versions
of the same file in the top level, as well as other documents.
a single document is fine.
