DeBoskey" Message-Id: <199906080256.WAA48269@bb01f39.unx.sas.com> Subject: sysinstall manpage installation question To: freebsd-current@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 22:56:08 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL43 (25)] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have a -current machine which I use to run a: cd /usr/src && make world && cd release && make release every night. On this machine, the sysinstall manpage is not installed onto the system during make world. % man sysinstall No manual entry for sysinstall % chroot /snap/release /bin/sh # man sysinstall SYSINSTALL(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual SYSINSTALL(8) NAME sysinstall - system installation and configuration tool etc, etc, etc. It seems to me, that during a make world, we should build sysinstall into /stand(or elsewhere), and install the manpage in the appropriate location. comments? critiques? Thanks, John ps: I am a heavy user of the scripted install process. I beleive we could help our cause by better documenting how the process works and providing some examples. Along those lines, here is a .cfg file I use for a machine that I use to test SNAPs on. This is an incredible time saving facility. Notes: noError=True is not documented. See dispatch.c line 311 _ftpPath= is not documented. Appears to be an internal vs. external naming scheme. Not sure...
