Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2000 15:06:33 -0500 From: "Michael R. Wayne" Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The following line make release RELEASENOUPDATE=1 BUILDNAME=3.4-local CHROOTDIR=/FreeBSDRelease CVSROOT=/tmp should create a release w/o doing any CVS updates. However, it fails with cd /FreeBSDRelease/usr && rm -rf src && cvs -R -d /tmp co -P src cvs checkout: cannot find module `src' - ignored *** Error code 1 I think there is a problem with make failing to properly propagate environment variables to sub shells as I ran across a similar problem when trying to work with any port and a r/o NFS mounted file system. I tried to dig through the makefiles to determine where the problem lies but they're fairly complex and I thought a more experienced set of eyes might be able to pick the problem out quickly. Is this a known issue? I've not seen anything go by on the lists. /\/\ \/\/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
