Wonderful, thanks. The "problem" here is that make errors out with: cd /usr/release-1/usr && rm -rf src && cvs -R -d /usr/src co -P src cvs [checkout aborted]: /usr/src/CVSROOT: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 It looks like it's expecting a CVSROOT dir, and there is none. I am also thinking that perhaps it's referring to $CVSROOT, which is an argument for 'make release'. But I'd imagine that, if this is how they actually make releases, an error on the Makefile is basically unheard of. Any suggestions? Thanks for the answers so far, they're *EXACTLY* what I'm looking for. -dt -----Original Message----- From: Kent Stewart [mailto:kstewart@owt.com] Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2002 7:23 PM To: Dan Trainor Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: 'make release' Dan Trainor wrote: > Hey all > > I've posted a couple times, to no avail.

The way I understand a release you have to have built the version before you can do the make release of the version. The upgrade to 4.5 is pretty much 4.5-stable from your level. You don't need a whole cvs thing, it is over 1.5 GB at this point. You need a tag=RELENG_4 or RELENG_4_5 source. I think Ruslan's crossbuild upgrade fixes are only in RELENG_4. A 181 MB mini-iso of 4.5-release would be much faster than the whole cvs. The mini-iso might take 15 hours to download but a binary upgrade may be much faster than anything you are contemplating.
