Makefile.inc1 - introduction of USEKERNNAME
Introduces a new USEKERNNAME variable set by default to "yes", that works as
follows:
- if USEKERNNAME == yes, then nothing is changed;
- if USEKERNNAME != yes, then install all kernels in a directory named exactly
as the kernel configuration.
For example, if KERNCONF = GENERIC CURRENT STABLE, then the 3 kernels would be
installed in /boot/GENERIC, /boot/CURRENT, /boot/STABLE respectively. No
/boot/kernel would be created.
Then, /boot/loader.conf should be updated with the new default kernel name (by
setting the "kernel" variable) or a /boot/kernel file should be created
manually (by copying a valid kernel directory, by soft linking to a valid
kernel directory...).
I tested successfully the patch. I did not test what happens if no /boot/kernel
file exists and the kernel variable in /boot/loader.conf is not defined.
