Note that 'make release' just overwrites the release name in newvers.sh. # Add version information to those things that need it. if [ ! -f ${CHROOTDIR}/tmp/.world_done ]; then \ cd ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/src/sys/conf && \ mv newvers.sh foo && \ sed "s/^RELEASE=3D.*/RELEASE=3D${BUILDNAME}/" foo > newvers= =2Esh &&=20 \ rm foo; \ fi If you used 'make release' to build your custom release (like a lot of othe= r=20 folks do) you would have had all this for free. :) =2D-=20 John Baldwin =A0<>< =A0http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" =A0=3D =A0http://www.FreeBSD.org
