I've looked through the handbook and can't find out just HOW to make a release. Looking through /usr/src/release/Makefile got me on the right path, but I still can't get it to work. Lets say, for instance, i want to make a release relative to /usr/RELEASE, and call it 2.2.5-BETA. I use cvsup, if that matters, to update the source tree almost daily. On the command line, the CHROOTDIR, BUILDNAME, RELEASETAG, and CVSROOT can and/or need to be set. CHROOTDIR and BUILDNAME are rather self-explanatory. The last to are not, to me at least. I've tried this and it doesn't work: make release CHROOTDIR=/usr/RELEASE BUILDNAME=2.2.5-BETA RELEASETAG=RELENG_2_2 CVSROOT=/usr It failed on something like "/usr/CVSROOT does not exist". Hmm.. I think I'll try CVSROOT=/ next time.. anyway.. More detailed instructions from someone would still be great. This could make a good handbook topic. The purpose of me doing this is to try and help out a bit and making sure everything gets installed correctly. (I hope there's enough time left.. I'll do it tonight if possible). I would just futz around with it a few times and figure it out myself normally, but release time isn't too far away. :-) Yay! --- Chris Dillon --- cdillon@tri-lakes.net --- Powered by FreeBSD, the best free OS on the planet ---- (http://www.freebsd.org)
