I'm tracking RELENG_4 on a Pentium-100 server which is working fine but make [build|install] world takes a really long time. I also have a faster machine I track RELENG_4 on, and I heard about the "make release" option, but it's reputedly wrought with peril and only for someone that really knows what they're doing. (probably not me :-) So then I thought - what if I just burn a CD with /usr/src and/or /usr/obj on it - can I makeworld with that on the slow machine? (I can't just NFS mount the drive because these machines are geographically separated) So specifically: A) Do I need both /usr/src and /usr/obj? It seems the size of both those combined on my 4.3-STABLE machines are currently perilously close to the capacity of a single CD. Do I need any files other than those? B) What do I need to do to ensure that there is nothing specific to machine A when I copy source files to machine B -- ie are the object files changed by the kernel configuration file when you make buildkernel?
