>Description:
While with old mergemaster version it was perfectly fine to have
an non-FreeBSD-src but equivalent tree and use mergemaster -m /path/to/that
and mergemaster files into an environment.
This now fails trying to call (internal) targets like:
make: don't know how to make _obj. Stop
or
make: don't know how to make everything. Stop
followed by:
*** FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'cd' to /u1/server-skel/etc and install files to
the temproot environment
sidenote: I think it should be "... or install..."
Adding the targets blank helps to still use it but
looking at the sources it seems to have hardcoded more constants like a
proper share/mk for make -m system makefiles now as well.
I wonder why those options need hardcoding into general installed file in
a way that they are not replaceable by the user?
If mergemaster is only used as a substitue for make distribution at install time to update merge from the freebsd src tree we should leave it as a src-tree update "dependency" and not install it to /usr/sbin at all.
