In experimentation, I find that kern.securelevel _must_ be set to -1 for a release to successfully be built. This requirement really needs to be spelled out somewhere in the document. >How-To-Repeat: # sysctl -w kern.securelevel=1 # cd /usr/src/release # make release >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
