What is the right way, if it is even possible or advisable, to make a -stable snapshot (release) on a -current box (very current)? I'm attempting to do so right now, though I don't know the status of it (the box is at home, I'm at work right now). I checked out the latest -stable tree into /usr/src, and started doing a 'make -m /usr/src/share/mk/sys.mk buildworld' (which was looking quite good before I left) and then it will do a 'cd release && make -m /usr/src/share/mk/sys.mk release various_release_options'. I figured pointing make at the stable version of sys.mk might be a good idea, though it may in reality be a boneheaded idea. Any suggestions? If possible and it succeeds, are there any gotchas I should be aware of? (any -current-isms that might show up in the stable snapshot?) Something I realized just after I made the most recent current world is that the aic driver isn't in CAM yet. Guess what I hook my CD writer and ZIP drive up to? :-) I'll just copy the iso image onto my Winblows partition and use Adaptec EasyCD to write it, or something. Anyone need a tester for the aic driver for CAM? :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net /* FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
