I am aware of mfsBSD, as well as DruidBSD, however i'm looking > for something simple that I can script. > any help or thoughts is appreciated I'm hoping that my very open development documentation on customizing the r= elease(7) process for producing DruidBSD releases can help you out here. I've documented much of the internals of the release(7) process (albeit, re= levant to the RELENG_8 release(7) Makefile; in RELENG_9 it's still relevant= to /usr/src/release/Makefile.sysinstall ... but I gather that much of the = knobs may still exist in HEAD). Have a read through this revision-controlled text file... http://druidbsd.cvs.sf.net/viewvc/druidbsd/druidbsd/druid/dep/freebsd/patch= es/README?revision=3D1.2&view=3Dmarkup ALSO NOTE: Yes, the file is dated... it talks about cvsup instead of svn. M= y hope is that the doco can be a good starting point (even if the data is a= bit dated). In there, you'll find things like (relevant to RELENG_9): make -f Makefile.sysinstall release \ MAKE=3D"/usr/bin/env CFLAGS=3D-DDRUID make" \ CHROOTDIR=3D/usr/release EXTSRCDIR=3D/usr/src KERNELS_BASE= =3D \ NODOC=3DYES NO_FLOPPIES=3DYES NOCDROM=3DYES NOPORTS=3DYES \ WORLD_FLAGS=3D-DWITHOUT_OPENSSL PATCH_FLAGS=3D-N \ LOCAL_PATCHES=3D/tmp/druid.patches \ LOCAL_SCRIPT=3D/tmp/local_script.sh |& tee release.log Take special note of the "LOCAL_SCRIPT=3D" option. Maybe, just maybe, the bsdinstall-specific release(7) process supports LOCA= L_SCRIPT too. If it doesn't... why not? --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
