Subject:   making a 4.6 release under 4.5?

I have to apologize of this isn't the best-targetted mailing list
for my questions.

But first, the setup:

I have a 4.5-RELEASE box.  On this box, I'm trying to build a
4.6-STABLE release via 'make release'.

I set up my environment thusly:

   CHROOTDIR=/usr/build/release
   CVSROOT=/home/ncvs
   RELEASETAG=RELENG_4
   WORLD_FLAGS='-j10'
   KERNEL_FLAGS='-j10'
   NOPORTS=YES
   NOPORTREADMES=YES
   BUILDNAME=4.5-STABLE

(Even as I type this, I see I've mis-set BUILDNAME, but I think
that only affects the version name in the kernel.)

I think it started to die in here:

  cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/x2p/a2pl; make _EXTRADEPEND
  echo a2p: /usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/lib/libc.a  >> .depend
  ===> gnu/usr.bin/perl/x2p/s2pl
  ===> gnu/usr.bin/perl/x2p/find2pl
  ===> gnu/usr.sbin
  1 error
  *** Error code 2
  1 error
  *** Error code 2
  1 error
  *** Error code 2

  Stop in /usr/src/release.
       2183.50 real      1855.67 user       894.73 sys

A full typescript of my last effort is here; if anyone is patent:

Questions:

- Is this the best place to discuss issues about making a release
  based on -STABLE?

- Was my assumption correct, that RELEASETAG=RELENG_4 is the correct
  value?

- Have I in fact done anything wrong, or amm I stumbling on an
  undocumented gotcha?

If there's some documentation I seem to have glossed over, please
point that out to me.

Thanks for any advice you may have...
