X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 07:28:37 -0000 I recently tried something new ... built my own release with what I (naively || ) thought would be RELENG_5_3 sources. I'm hoping to use this "release server" to set up boxes for the foreseeable future, so I really want 5.3-RELEASE. It was a neat experience, not so hard as it seemed at first, and it was tre kewl to watch FreeBSD install via FTP over a LAN .... However, in setting only the three variables required, with CVSROOT equal to: freebsdanoncvs@anoncvs.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs, I ended up with 6.X-CURRENT sources, as I'm sure that anyone familiar with the process could easily have foreseen (I guess I thought that somehow BUILDNAME might have something to do with it, besides the obvious). If I set CVSCMDARGS to the time that 5.3-RELEASE was tagged, will a "make rerelease" do the equivalent of "turning back the clock" without having to clean out the source tree, etc? I had to move a box from here to the colo (and then back again) to get enough bw to do the job (after 3 unsuccessful tries from here) and would really like to do the job with minimal "pull" from the 'Net if possible .... Anyone have a recommendation? Or is it "back to the colo" and "make release" again? Thank you! Kevin Kinsey
