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...
See 1.157 of sysinstall.h, int dirty;.
