Message-ID: <20020710170215.T259@numachi.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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: http://www.numachi.com/~reichert/misc/typescript.make_release.1026333708 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.
