For some experiments (with qemu, diskless, jails etc.) i would like to build an 'installed' subtree from sources, where by 'installed' i mean fully populated including the files in /etc I see that the 'installworld' and 'installkernel' targets do part of the work. 'install' (run after installworld) does another part (manpages ?) but i could not find a way to populate /etc . I tried with mergemaster and the -m and -D options, but it seems to want a 'make' version that matches the source tree. Maybe some shell magic involving the following MAKE=`make -f Makefile -V BINMAKE` \ mergemaster -m /sources_are_here/usr/src/etc -D /destination_is_here (with a few `eval` here and there) can do the job, but i wonder if there isn't a better option or something already in the source tree that does not require mergemaster ? thanks luigi
