Summary: Release process doesn't document required securelevel settings

Description Eric Schnoebelen 2002-09-02 21:30:02 UTC 
	The release process documentation (at
	http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/ does
	_not_ document the requirement that the system building the
	release be running with a sysctl setting for kern.securelevel of
	< 0.  In experimentation, I find that kern.securelevel _must_ be
	set to -1 for a release to successfully be built.

	This requirement really needs to be spelled out somewhere in the
	document.

How-To-Repeat: 	# sysctl -w kern.securelevel=1
	# cd /usr/src/release
	# make release

This is now documented in the release(7) man page on both -CURRENT and 
-STABLE.  Thanks for the report.
