The following reply was made to PR docs/42312; it has been noted by GNATS. From: bmah@freebsd.org (Bruce A. Mah) To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: bmah@freebsd.org Subject: Re: docs/42312: make release broken without full ports Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2002 18:25:40 -0700 --==_Exmh_-429680864P Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Thanks for your PR. I was staring at this for a few minutes. A few thoughts: You might be trying to build with a current (HEAD) ports tree, rather than the ports tree that was tagged as RELEASE_4_6_2. Your patch has the right idea, but a problem is that OSVERSION is defined for the version of FreeBSD running on the building host. For your patch to work it needs to be able to figure out OSVERSION for the chroot area used to build the release, which is not necessarily the same. For a -STABLE and -CURRENT ports tree, www/links isn't required for docs, but www/links1 is (and it's listed as such in Makefile.inc.docports). I'm not sure what's the right thing to do here; it'd be nice if we could go and fix this, but I'm somewhat opposed to committing a fix to a non-critical, fairly-easily-worked-around problem on a security-fix branch.
