Hi,
I'm thinking that we have quite a bit of duplicate stuff in each of the 4
i386 ports (cpuid, pci, serial, etc) that could well live in a
firmware-agnostic conf/i386.rmk file.
This would simplify things and make them easier to maintain. What do you
think?
Btw, I think grub-emu could go there too. The only arch-specific thing in
it AFAICS is cpuid.mod.
I tried moving more stuff to common.rmk many times but gave up every
time. One of the reasons is that the sparc64 support is very
out-of-date and doesn't use common.rmk at all. I cannot even test it
(well, I haven't tries hard).
If sparc64 support is out of date and the maintainer is nowhere to be
seen then I think you can put that support to graveyard until someone
comes up to update it. Putting all common stuff to every platform to
common.rmk is a good way and the only way (in my opinion) to go forward.
