Here's a picoBSD circumstance that's probably not
a bug but maybe qualifies as an "operator Be-aware".
If a build of picobsd fails due to a compilation
error while compiling the kernel, changes made
thereafter to the relevent PICOBSD config file in
the "release/picobsd" tree may not take effect unless
the corresponding configuration file (typically in
"/usr/src/sys/i386/conf") is deleted manually (for
a build of type "net", this file would be named
"PICOBSD-net". Editing "/usr/src/release/picobsd/net/PICOBSD"
thereafter would have no effect on subsequent
"picobsd net" builds).
The manual deletion is required because the makefile
("/usr/src/release/picobsd/build/Makefile.conf")
dependency in "${COMPILE}: ${CONF}/${CONFFILE}"
detects the existing config file and thus does not
apply the "$(CONF)/${CONFFILE}:" rule to copy the
new PICOBSD configuration file over the version in
"/usr/src/sys/i386/conf".
Obvious but easy to overlook.
-------
The picobsd build script doesn't seem
to have a cleanup, unless I've missed
something obvious...?
To "nuke" everything left over from an old picobsd
build, for instance of type "net":
* cd /usr/src/sys/compile
and delete the "PICOBSD-net" build directory.
* cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
and delete the "PICOBSD-net" config file.
* cd /usr
and delete the "obj-picobsd" subdirectory.
* cd /usr/src/release/picobsd/build
and delete the "build_dir-net" subdirectory
* cd /tmp
and delete the "picobsd.XXXXXXXXXX" (temp
name) subdirectory.
and delete the "reply.XXXXXXXXXX" temporary file.
Have I missed anything?
