I'm starting to try and attack building servers and server objects
and don't quite understand what's going on in os/servers. It looks
like some objects in os/servers/XXX are being built in baseServers,
while some are build in the normal server directory (e.g. os/servers/
k42). What's going on here? It looks like at first glance that
baseServers package up server functionality from servers that are
needed to bootstrap K42 (e.g. nfs/kfs, pty, dev, etc). Does this
server then later get replaced by the actual servers once they get
started or something? I haven't seen much documentation of exactly
how this works in K42 yet, so I thought I'd ask.
For the makefile work, I guess the main thing I need to know is: can
I just build the objects and stubs in each subdirectory of os/
servers/ and have each server target link together the ones it needs
for its server, be it baseServer or whatever, or do I need to do
something special there?
