Basically, I removed all cvs checkout stuff and replaced it with simply copying /usr/src, /usr/ports and /usr/doc. You have to perform a buildword before doing a "make release" anyway, so /usr/src should be up to date, and simply copying it is sufficient. (Having said that -- I _do_ have a local CVS repository, I'm just not using it during a "make release".) Regards Oliver PS: Those who have the "Lehmanns" Edition CDs will find my patched Makefile in /usr/src/release/Makefile.lehmanns. It's also in the 4.3-RC ISOs at ftp7.de.freebsd.org. -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co KG, Oettingenstr. 2, 80538 München Any opinions expressed in this message may be personal to the author and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of secnetix in any way.
