Remove $FreeBSD$: one-line bare tag

Remove /^\s*\$FreeBSD\$$\n/


# e7d939bd 06-Jul-2014 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Remove ia64.

This includes:
o All directories named *ia64*
o All files named *ia64*
o All ia64-specific code guarded by __ia64__
o All ia64-specific makefile logic
o Mention of ia64 in comments and documentation

This excludes:
o Everything under contrib/
o Everything under crypto/
o sys/xen/interface
o sys/sys/elf_common.h

Discussed at: BSDcan


# 45c203fc 14-Mar-2014 Gleb Smirnoff <glebius@FreeBSD.org>

Remove AppleTalk support.

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.

Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.


# 8ce070c1 29-Dec-2011 Ulrich Spörlein <uqs@FreeBSD.org>

Spelling fixes for tools/

Add some $FreeBSD$ tags so svn will allow the commit.


# a7d5f7eb 19-Oct-2010 Jamie Gritton <jamie@FreeBSD.org>

A new jail(8) with a configuration file, to replace the work currently done
by /etc/rc.d/jail.


# fe0506d7 09-Mar-2010 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.


# 84ccb25d 26-May-2009 Edwin Groothuis <edwin@FreeBSD.org>

Add the regression test for bin/date.


# d7f03759 19-Oct-2008 Ulf Lilleengen <lulf@FreeBSD.org>

- Import the HEAD csup code which is the basis for the cvsmode work.


# ffc44a27 22-May-2007 Diomidis Spinellis <dds@FreeBSD.org>

Document the .in .out file naming conventions adopted in commit_prep.pl's
exclusions list for header checking.


# 259dde6e 14-Mar-2007 Diomidis Spinellis <dds@FreeBSD.org>

Document a procedure for testing individual binaries under development.


# 938e27a7 02-Jan-2005 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Replace a mention of the ia64_unaligned directory with one of the
ia64 subdirectory. All ia64 specific regression tests live under
the ia64 directory.


# 00e13b1d 11-Nov-2004 Nik Clayton <nik@FreeBSD.org>

Switch over to a different, more flexible test output protocol that's
understood by Perl's Test::Harness module and prove(1) commands.

Update README to describe the new protocol. The work's broken down into
two main sets of changes.

First, update the existing test programs (shell scripts and C programs)
to produce output in the ok/not ok format, and to, where possible, also
produce a header describing the number of tests that are expected to be
run.

Second, provide the .t files that actually run the tests. In some cases
these are copies of, or very similar too, scripts that already existed.
I've kept the old scripts around so that it's possible to verify that
behaviour under this new system (in terms of whether or not a test fails)
is identical to the behaviour under the old system.

Add a TODO file.


# e858faa9 20-Feb-2004 Brian Feldman <green@FreeBSD.org>

Add my getaddrinfo(3) stress-tester as gaithrstress. The most obvious
regressions would be to see the program or your kernel crashing.

If you want to give it something to really test out, try a much more
reentrant version of the resolver.
<URL:http://green.homeunix.org/~green/reentrant_resolver.patch>
Any Mozilla-based browser would show you a clear difference.


# af1a7621 30-Jul-2003 Pierre Beyssac <pb@FreeBSD.org>

Add a regression test for the big pipe bug.

Suggested by: silby


# ba05755c 15-Aug-2002 Alfred Perlstein <alfred@FreeBSD.org>

Add regression tests for sysvipc.

Submitted by: Hiten Pandya <hiten@uk.FreeBSD.org>
Obtained from: NetBSD


# 80ad7ca9 06-Jun-2002 Juli Mallett <jmallett@FreeBSD.org>

Describe ia64_unaligned and geom directories. I hope I got these right.


# 624abf85 26-Apr-2002 Juli Mallett <jmallett@FreeBSD.org>

Prefix tests with PASS and FAIL, to make grepping easier, and note this in
the README.

This affects only the base-system regression tests, of course.


# 88ef0373 20-Apr-2002 Juli Mallett <jmallett@FreeBSD.org>

Start adding framework for userland regression tests, and tests for
uuencode and uudecode.


# 61404abc 19-Dec-2001 Jordan K. Hubbard <jkh@FreeBSD.org>

Add Apple's filesystem exercising tool.

Submitted by: Conrad Minshall <conrad@apple.com>
Obtained from: Apple Computer


# e5f1b1b1 16-Feb-2000 Peter Dufault <dufault@FreeBSD.org>

These are regression tests for the P1003.1B scheduler.

Approved by: jkh


# 6527fda5 18-May-1997 Doug Rabson <dfr@FreeBSD.org>

Add a couple of test cases for mmap over NFS.


# 03bbd5cc 06-Mar-1997 Mike Pritchard <mpp@FreeBSD.org>

Fix a couple of typos.


# 9e9d8a46 15-Oct-1995 Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@FreeBSD.org>

README reads:
This directory is for regression test programs.

A regression test program is one that will excercise a particular bit of the
system to check that we have not reintroduced an old bug.

Please make a subdir per program, and add a brief description to this file.
