Description William Kirkland 2006-06-03 04:10:24 UTC
I am attempting to build a jail ...

*** Comparing make variables

*** From /home/JAIL-2006-06-02/etc/make.conf
*** From /usr/src/share/examples/etc/make.conf
grep: /home/JAIL-2006-06-02/etc/make.conf: No such file or directory
+ make installworld DESTDIR=/home/JAIL-2006-06-02
ERROR: Required audit group is missing, see /usr/src/UPDATING.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.

.. I found the following in /usr/src/UPDATING.

20060204:
    The 'audit' group was added to support the new auditing functionality
    in the base system.  Be sure to follow the directions for updating,
    including the requirement to run mergemaster -p.

.. from the mergemaster man page

     -p          Pre-buildworld mode.  Compares only files known to be essen-
                 tial to the success of {build|install}world, including
                 /etc/make.conf.

.. this still does not tell me what is wrong. I highly suspect that I am missing a group called "audit", and would add it manually, except I do not see what gid is used for that group.

How-To-Repeat: Install a clean copy of 6.1 ... build world ...

Hi,

I think the documentation in our handbook about using mergemaster
-p to correct this issue is quite clear.  Have you tried this?

Thanks,
