Sigh. It isn't. It doesn't.

I just checked on another freshly installed system. It doesn't 
build, and, frankly, how should it?

I'm referring to ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/src/release/sysinstall

a.) there is no file apache.c
    Makefile contains the line

    SRCS=   anonFTP.c apache.c attr.c cdrom.c command.c config.c devices.c \

    Makefile does not contain an entry generating apache.c.

    I fail to see how the build should succeed this way.

b.) installUpgrade.c has recently (Sept 9) been altered. Line 158
    reads

          if (variable_get(VAR_NONINTERACTIVE))

    VAR_NONINTERACTIVE probably should be defined in sysinstall.h. 
    Alas, it isn't. sysinstall.h was last altered April 20, this is before 
    or around the time of 2.2.2-RELEASE. I fail to see how installUpgrade.c
    should compile this way.

I don't doubt the version on your hare drive compile just fine. Unfortunately
this doesn't apply to the version on ftp.cdrom.com.

Regards

Christoph Weber-Fahr
