It's that darned AUXRELEASETAG hack that ports and apparently now docs depend on. :-( If I leave AUXRELEASETAG unset and build the release with RELEASETAG=RELENG_4, as I must for all BETAs and interim release candidate snapshots for which I have no tags, then -current ports and doc is used. Unfortunately, the -current ports collection has been falling over for me if I use it, so I set AUXRELEASETAG=RELEASE_4_2_0 manually and the ports collection checks out a nice working version. Unfortunate, this then means that doc checks out on a non-existant tag and the directory is empty. Phoo! I think AUXRELEASETAG has gotten itself overloaded - unless you and Satoshi plan on laying down the same tag name at the same time in ports and doc simultaneously, it's not the case that they can share the same tag name. There needs to be a separate PORTSRELEASETAG and DOCRELEASETAG so that they can be overridden independantly for cases just like this one (which will come up again, I assure you). - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
