I have a procedure for make release -> http://www.gsoft.com.au/~doconnor/FreeBSD-release-2.html but the way I do it is not 'normal' - I don't use the CVS repo because I can't commit into that tree (and local CVS hacks make my head hurt) so I check out and modify the source in /usr/src, build it and test then after I'm happy with it I make release with a patch to copy the source instead of checking it out. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5
