Hello, NetBSD Users. I built the netbsd-6 CVS branch from source using BUILD-NetBSD from (pkgsrc) sysutils/etcmanage (0.8.2). This creates a directory named releasedir which contains the binary sets and kernel. I then copy these binary set and kernel files to a target machine where I install them using INSTALL-NetBSD. Doing this enables me to not keep a source tree on the target machine nor build from source on the target machine.
After running INSTALL-NetBSD on the target machine, I want to run "postinstall check". Unfortunately, this does not work because "/usr/src" does not exist. Looking at the postinstall(8) man page shows me that there's a '-s' option to specify reference files. So, I can do "postinstall -s [RELEASEDIR]/amd64/binary/sets/etc.tgz check" where [RELEASEDIR] is the path to the releasedir directory I copied over. For this form of the '-s' option, it says the etc.tgz file must be specified and the xetc.tgz file is optional. My question is, are all the other set files optional too? Or put another way, is the '-s' option only for specifying etc.tgz and xetc.tgz, or is it also intended to be used for base.tgz, comp.tgz, and so on, and by not specifying those, some checks will be skipped? Thank you! Lewis
