Document debugging options and allow specifying them by name.

Add an option to warn and error out for mtree missing entries.

Restore backward compatibility of UFS2 with previous NetBSD releases by
disabling support in UFS2 for extended attributes (including ACLs).
Add a new variant of UFS2 called "UFS2ea" that does support extended attributes.
Add new	fsck_ffs operations "-c	ea" and	"-c no-ea" to convert file systems
from UFS2 to UFS2ea and	vice-versa (both of which delete all existing extended
attributes in the process).

new sentence, new line

Refactor and rewrite of newfs_udf(8) and makefs(8) (-t udf) with a shared
section for fsck_udf(8).

Newfs_udf and makefs support predefined disc image profiles, harddisc
partitions (disklabel and wedges on all generic block devices) and all optical
media types on CD/DVD/BD writers.

Newfs_udf and makefs now also support formatting of UDF 2.50 with a metadata
partition.

Explain cd9660 and udf exceptions on the rule that the default sectorsize is
512.

Add a -L option to follow all symbolic links.  Useful if you have symlinks
in a makefs directory tree but want to refer to the actual file.

Add "efi" as a supported boot image type and derive the platform ID for
the validation entry from the default boot image instead of hard-coding
X86.

Indent the makefs(8) options for UDF like the other filesystems described.

this commit was splitted into small chunks to avoid
a limitation of cvs.  ("Protocol error: too many arguments")

New sentence, new line.
Use one list instead of two consecutive ones.
Add .El to end list.

Add minimum UDF version specification to makefs(8) -t udf.

Allow for the logical volume label to be specified as well as the physical
volume label. Also allow the volumeset name to be specified if desired. The
syntax follows the newfs_udf(8) syntax.

New sentence, new line.

Update makefs(8) man page to reflect the selection of default sector and disc
sizes based on the disc type.

Note that i added the UDF support to makefs(8) and bump data

Sort. Improve table formatting.

Implement `makefs -t udf'.

Formatting options may be enhanced to make it more in line with newfs_udf on
say labeling.

add a replace flag so we can overlay exiting files when we merge directories.

Patch from Jung-uk Kim (jkim at FreeBSD dot org) to allow contents of multiple
directories to be merged to the current image.

add support for setting the ufs label. (Nathan Whitehorn)

Re-order `usage' alphabetically;
rename option arguments in the manpage's `SYNOPSIS' section to
match those from `usage' (not the other way around; the `usage'-line
(and other parts of makefs.c) contain the correct names);
minor punctuation improvements.

From Snader_LB.

Bump date for previous, fix typo.

v7fs(7th edition(V7) file system) support.

From Nathan Whitehorn (nwhitehorn at freebsd dot org):
Add code to generate bootable ISOs on Powermac and CHRP systems.
Synthesize some partition maps (APM and MBR, respectively) pointing
to (a) the whole disk, and (b) relevant El Torito boot images that
have been added by other code. These partition maps are a little
bit funny looking, but they seem to work. FreeBSD has been using
this successfully in their release generation on powerpc, as well
as generating all non-SPARC install media. SPARC support could
probably be added as an extension of this patch.

Bump date for last change.

Add support for encoding RISC OS metadata into ISO 9660 filesystems.
This is done by adding the general ability to stuff non-SUSP data into
the end of the System Use field of a Directory Record, which required
some amount of rewriting of the SUSP support.  I think the result is
at least as good as what came before, and I've fixed at least one bug
along the way.  Tested against RISC OS 3.70 on my Risc PC.

Oh, why do we want it?  It should allow us to make acorn{26,32} CDs that
can be booted directly from RISC OS without mucking around copying the
bootloader to a native filing system.

Bump date for previous.

boot-load-size, the number of load sectors for the boot image, is
not yet, and will not be, supported.

The system type mac68k is also allowed.

XXX Is that correct?

Synchronize documentation with utility.

Remove unnecessary keeps (Bk/Ek). Sort options. Various minor fixes.
Bump date.

Comment out some currently unimplemented options, and add a few descriptions
for others (from Daniel Watt).

cd9660 support. Written by Daniel Watt, Walter Deignan, Ryan Gabrys,
Alan Perez-Rathke and Ram Vedam.

Prototyping, KNF, WARNS=3 by me.

Note that this is marked experimental for now. It works well enough to
make NetBSD/i386 bootable images, but does need more work.

Fix a typo in the description of -f.  Noted by Jukka Salmi in PR 30713.
Add some missing punctuation.

Spell the plural of suffix "suffixes", not "suffices".
Inspired by PR 24400 by Todd Vierling.

Add support for UFS2. UFS2 is an enhanced FFS, adding support for
64 bit block pointers, extended attribute storage, and a few
other things.

This commit does not yet include the code to manipulate the extended
storage (for e.g. ACLs), this will be done later.

Originally written by Kirk McKusick and Network Associates Laboratories for
FreeBSD.

Tweak Jason's -x support to pass its state around as part of fsinf_t,
just like all the other "global" options.
Update the usage for -x.
Crank date on man page.

(Thanks to Jason for adding -x; I've been meaning to add that
functionality for a while :-)

Add a -x option which causes makefs(8) to exclude any file system node
not explicitly listed in the specfile.

support 1234 and 4321 as valid byte-order arguments for -B

.Nm does not need a dummy argument ("") before punctuation or
for correct formatting of the SYNOPSIS any longer.

The correct capitalisation of 'NetBSD.org' is (you
guessed it) 'NetBSD.org'.

some mdoc fixes.

If an entry is in the specfile but not in the underlying file system, and it's
marked "optional", don't add it. (e.g, don't create a zero-length file).

Add '-N dbdir', to specify that user & group lookups (via pwcache(3)) are to
be done from dbdir/master.passwd and dbdir/group, using simple text file
parsing routines from ../mtree/getid.c

Drop an unnecessary .Pp, fix a typo, use standard headers, sort sections,
mark up author name.

- Use strsuftoull() from dd(1) to parse numbers, rather than home grown
  version. The new version supports products, 'g' (GB) and 't' (TB)
  suffices, and `b' now means `blocks' instead of `bytes'.
  Functionality requested by perry.
- debug is now a u_int instead of an int.
- Ensure that various numbers have sane upper limits (e.g, 99 for %, etc)

makefs - create a file system image from a directory tree.
It doesn't need any special privileges or kernel devices.

Only ffs image creation is supported at this time, although makefs has been
designed to allow the addition of other file system formats by writing new
back-ends.

This program was designed & implemented by Luke Mewburn of Wasabi Systems.
