Hi James In the PR you refer to a Web Page with instructions on how to make a release. I can not find this page can you please give me a pointer to it. Thanks Johan K Its under the "For Serious Hackers Only", "Building a custom Release" in any HTML version of the FAQ. Try rebooting, Logging in as root, cd /usr/src/release, make release BUILDNAME=5.0-CURRENT CHROOTDIR=/usr/home/release CVSROOT=/usr/src -----Original Message----- From: Johan Karlsson [mailto:k@numeri.campus.luth.se] Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2000 12:21 PM To: bonk1138@msn.com Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: misc/19235: building custom release is busted Hi James In the PR you refer to a Web Page with instructions on how to make a release.

Good point, but at some point you need to build world in order to get a populated /usr/obj :-) I'll tweak my commit to include a comment about that though. - jim -- jim mock <jim@jmock.com> work: jim@osd.bsdi.com | jim@FreeBSD.org http://soupnazi.org/ BSDi Open Source Div | http://bsdi.com State Changed From-To: open->closed FAQ updated in rev 1.84 and 1.85 to also say that a buildworld is required when making a release. |
