If so, are there any caveats awaiting me? > /usr/src should contain a checkout of -stable, and have a buildworld done from that. You then need to checkout src/release from -current, but put it in /usr/src5/release for example. You then need to cd to /usr/src/release and issue the make release, but pointing to the -current release Makefile For example: mkdir /usr/src4 cvs co -rRELENG_4 -d/usr/src4 src mkdir -p /usr/src5/release cvs co -d/usr/src5/release release cd /usr/src4 make buildworld cd release make -f /usr/src5/release/Makefile release ... where ... means to add your release flags accordingly. Thanks very much to Ruslan and others for making this work! The caveat is that the release build may not complete successfully, or work correctly. Hope this helps. > Thanks, > > -ip > Regards, Chris Knight Systems Administrator E-Easy Tel: +61 3 6334 9995 Fax: +61 3 6331 7032 Mob: +61 419 528 795 Web: http://www.e-easy.com.au
