Hi,
I ported/upgraded our custom FreeBSD (custom kernel, security patches,
etc.) from 4.9-stable to 5.4-stable, and have downloaded and built all
the ports we need.
I want to provide this already-built system for use in our QA lab and by
other developers, so I'm attempting to build a bootable CD that captures it.
Since I have never done this before, I read the fine manual (man build
and man release), and some articles that came up when I searched for
various combinations of {freebsd, release, make, iso, isos, custom, cd,
and cdrom}, and tried to follow their examples. It isn't easy, because
the documentation of MAKE_ISOS and NOPORTS is rather incomplete.
I tried the following:
cd /usr/src/release
make release CHROOTDIR=/usr/v54export BUILDNAME=FBSD54_050712
RELEASETAG=RELENG_5 \
CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs
EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src \
MAKE_ISOS=/usr/v54export COMPAT_DISTS=compat4x
OTHER_DISTS=manpages \
NOPORTS=YES
It complained that the connection to the CVS repository is being
refused. I tried changing the CVSROOT to :pserver:freebsdanoncvs@...
but that and several other protocol variations didn't help. I can't
see why -- does anyone know/care? Is there a simple way to overcome
this obstacle (is the documentation wrong/typo'ed)?
I tried to "cvs import" /usr/src into /usr/v54cvs and then specify the
CVSROOT as /usr/v54cvs. Here is the tail of 'script' capture of that
build:
cvs checkout: Updating ports/lang/perl5.8/files^M
rm -rf /usr/v54export/usr/doc^M
cd /usr/v54export/usr && cvs -R -d /usr/v54cvs co -P doc^M
cvs checkout: Updating doc^M
if [ -d /usr/src/release/../../ports/distfiles/ ]; then cp -rp
/usr/src/release/../../ports/distfiles
/usr/v54export/usr/ports/distfiles; else mkdir -p
/usr/v54export/usr/ports/distfiles; fi^M
make: don't know how to make checksum-recursive. Stop^M
*** Error code 2^M
^M
Stop in /usr/src/release.^M
*** Error code 1^M
^M
Stop in /usr/src/release.^M
# exit ^M
Well, at least this "checksum-recursive" thing is new -- can you help me
overcome it?
Am I doing something so wrong I don't even know how to ask the right
question(s)? If so, please be so kind as to point me in the right
direction.
Desperate (not yet sleepless, but close) in Waltham,
Jonathan
