I'm trying to build a relatively current version of PicoBSD, but I'm not having much luck. I'm new to PicoBSD and cvs so I'm sure I doing something dumb. My goal is a firewall/NAT box for my soon to be installed cable modem. My development system is a fresh install of FreeBSD 3.2 from the Walnut Creek CD. I didn't realize the PicoBSD source was installed along with the rest of the source distribution so I extracted a copy from the CVS archive on CD #2. I ran into a lot of problems trying to get it to build. Eventually I tripped over the source in /usr/src/release/picobsd which built and ran without problem. Comparing the source installed by the source distribution with what I extracted manually I found a number of differences. For example picobsd/router/mfs.tree/Makefile I extracted from cvs was version 1.2.2.1, but the version from the source distribution was version 1.3. 1.2.2.1 in cvs is labeled RELENG_3_2_0_RELEASE. Yesterday I cvsup'ed the cvs repository for src-release and tried to build it, again I didn't have much luck. The first problem was that config didn't like the lack of quotes around the machine name on line 5 of the PICOBSD configuration file for the router. Clearly I'm missing something. Do I need a full -current system to build the current Pico ? What is the most stable version of Pico ? Should I just use the src tree installed from the 3.2 distribution ?
