Re: [9front] 9front-8963.f84cf1e60427675514fb056cc1723e45da01e043.amd64.iso vs thinkpad x61t

[Jacob Moody <moody@mail.posixcafe.org>]

While looking over our mkfiles again I do see that we have a 'kernels' target
in /sys/src that builds all of the kernels, but nothing for just the 'current'
kernel. So I thought to add that, and add it to the list of subdirs
we build on a 'install'. This defines the 'current' kernels/boot
programs to those that are for the current objtype.

Now this doesn't do anything for putting the kernel somewhere other then /$objtype.
Most kernel install targets have this notion of $EXTRACOPIES :

install:V:	$p$CONF
	cp $p$CONF /$objtype/
	for(i in $EXTRACOPIES)
		import $i / /n/$i && cp $p$CONF $p$CONF.gz /n/$i/$objtype/

This seems a bit oddly specific, perhaps EXTRACOPIES (or a rename) could be
where someone puts in wherever they need the binary installed to
You'd get something like:

cd /sys/src
KDIRS=/n/9fat mk install

Just some thoughts, maybe this still sucks.
