I had earlier written (to deafening silence) that I had been unable to build a release from current. Buildworlds worked OK, but make release didn't. I have since figured out what was not working, but this leads to another question. On my particular box, I don't have a whole lot of room on /usr, so I was building the world on /home, e.g. export MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/current. The world would build, but make release died compiling the boot crunch. There are a slew of derived files in /bin/sh - yacc output and such - that are not found. I discovered that just symlinking /usr/obj to the right place, and not setting MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX works just fine. I made a shot at trying to fix this, but quite frankly I must agree with the comment in the release Makefile - "You are not expected to like this." Is this considered a bug worth fixing? If not, at least this will be in the archive for the next confused person... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
