Re: sysinstall manpage installation question

[David O'Brien]

On this machine, the sysinstall manpage is not installed onto
 the system during make world.

Yes, it is because ``make world'' does not build  install sysinstall.
Thus you do not get the manpage.  I was going to add the manpage to the
normal ``make world'', but I could not find a clean place to put it in
/usr/src/Makefile.inc1

sysinstall manpage installation question

[John W. DeBoskey]

Hi,

   I have a -current machine which I use to run a:

  cd /usr/src  make world  cd release  make release

   every night.

   On this machine, the sysinstall manpage is not installed onto
the system during make world.

% man sysinstall
No manual entry for sysinstall
% chroot /snap/release /bin/sh
# man sysinstall
SYSINSTALL(8)   FreeBSD System Manager's Manual  SYSINSTALL(8)

NAME
 sysinstall - system installation and configuration tool


  etc, etc, etc.


   It seems to me, that during a make world, we should build sysinstall
into /stand(or elsewhere), and install the manpage in the appropriate
location.

   comments? critiques?


Thanks,
John


ps: I am a heavy user of the scripted install process. I beleive we
could help our cause by better documenting how the process works
and providing some examples. Along those lines, here is a .cfg
file I use for a machine that I use to test SNAPs on. This is
an incredible time saving facility.


Notes: noError=True  is not documented. See dispatch.c line 311
   _ftpPath= is not documented. Appears to be an internal
 vs. external naming scheme. Not sure...
 See 1.157 of sysinstall.h, int dirty;.

As someone who is soon going to have to set up scripted installs, I
would certainly love to see more documentation on this.

 Along those lines, here is a .cfg file I use for a machine that I use
 to test SNAPs on.

Cool, thanks.
