Take In addition to an example, and perhaps as a extension step (or separate task), it would be nice to see the standard build commands/steps include an option to use a BE. Perhaps as a trivial starter, make install{kernel,world} ... BOOTENV=YES or equivalently simple toggle env var, that uses one and only one named-be for that current/next build/install cycle. This would dramatically lower barrier to entry, make it trivial for people to play/test with, and encourage feedback/bug reports to improve robustness/reliability. Happy to create a separate task for this if it's a non-trivial extension/wrapper around the example documentation that's being proposed here. |
