https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D263476 --- Comment #3 from Mark LaPointe <mark@cloudbsd.org> --- I will start off by stating that "read the man page" really isn't a proper = line of thinking here. Otherwise there wouldn't be a need or desire for a handbo= ok. The handbook is hand holding, and I think that hand holding that is of valu= e. I should not need to state this. Yes, I've read the man page for release(7), at the same time I think that t= he handbook doesn't come full circle and is incomplete without a section on ho= w to build a release.=20 There is a section on building ports, there is a section on customizing a kernel, but no section on building and possibly customizing a release. Now this section in the handbook doesn't need to be something in great deta= il, just something to give a taste. Then make references to the developers and other handbooks for people to dig deeper. I think that this is a missing section in the handbook, and an opportunity = to add value to the handbook. Now there are other ways that custom images could be accomplished (vm image templates), but I am also looking at how GhostBSD, helloSystem (Based off t= he late FuryBSD's build script), and other release derivatives are created and seeing that there is a gap and thinking that they could be done better, and that this area needs more attention, and quite possibly some work to have a better solution within the release building process. Adding this section for use in custom deployment environments, with just en= ough information on how to make a custom release image with extra packages insta= lled by default, like with some of the cloudware images (that may also be a feat= ure request to expand), or a more tailored release that has more kernel features beyond the GENERIC configuration, or removes features that are of no use, l= ess than GENERIC/LINT, but more than MINIMAL kernel configurations. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
