 You can set both RELEASETAG and BUILDNAME in your own shell script
 which kicks make release.  That's just a shell-script programming problem:)

That's essentially what I've done, but I don't know what the _relationship_
between them are.

  RELEASETAGBUILDNAME

  RELENG_4_4_0_RELEASE  4.4-RELEASE
  RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE  4.5-RELEASE
  RELENG_4  4.6-STABLE?

If FreeBSD were to maintain a 4.7-STABLE tree, the RELEASETAG would
not change, but the BUILDNAME would.

How to I transform a RELEASETAG into a BUILDNAME?  I suspect I
really need some meta-knowledge about what tags are in the CVS tree...

 Sorry, you did ask a specific question.  No, I hadn't tried those

I can now say that KERNEL_FLAGS, WORLD_FLAGS _did_ work; thanks for
pointing me in the right direction...

For the members of the viewing audience, in addition to Makoto
Matsushita's direction, I was aided by the brand-spanking-new
release(7) manpage:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=release

and Murray Stokely's document The Release Engineering of FreeBSD
4.4 available from:

  http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/#publications

Unfortunately, I had to delve into other bits of mystery and wonder:

- The Makefile in usr/src/release; that's where KERNEL_FLAGS and
  WORLD_FLAGS are mentioned.

- I ran into grief with the build of ports whose distfiles come
  from Sourceforge; my workaround was to rummage though
  usr/src/release/Makefile.inc.docports to find the 'minimal' list
  of ports used for the document toolchain, and actually go through
  the hassle of installing them outright on the base system.  Way
  down deep in the 'make release' phase, these ports are copied
  from /usr/ports, so any work I could in advance only saved time...

Now, if only I could automate a relationship between RELEASETAG and
BUILDNAME...

Woo-hoo!  I finally got a 'make release' to work!  Thanks for
everyone's pointers...

I had to pre-install on my base system the MINIMALDOCPORTS snarl
of stuff, and given that a dozen or so distfiles are hosted on
Sourceforge, so you can't make an automated install of them.  Maybe
I should pester the mailtainers of those respective ports...

It was rather disappointing that I couldn't run 'make release' in
parallel via the '-j' option, though.  :/

One last question, that only vaguely applies to this topic:

How disparate can the host OS version be from the version I'm trying
to make a release of?  (My host OS is 4.5-RELEASE; what the 'newest'
version of the OS that I could sucessfully perform a 'make release'
of without upgrading?

Still scrounging various docs...)

Same branch should work.  Different branch may or may not work.  It is

reichert 'make -j 10 release' didn't work.

Again, WORLD_FLAGS and/or KERNEL_FLAGS don't work for you?

Yes, it would be better that whole release procedure works with make
-jN, but most of the time spent is make buildworld/buildkernel during
make release, so setting WORLD_FLAGS/KERNEL_FLAGS may be enough to do.

reichert   ===  Applying FreeBSD patches for ghostscript-gnu-nox11-7.05_1

IMHO it is a ports issue.

'make release' tries to build a port?

2002-07-02 Thread Brian Reichert

I'm mucking with 'make release' under 4.5-RELEASE, and keep running
into a stumbling block:

When the documentation toolset is being built in the chrooted
environment, at one point docbook-dsssl-doc is built, among other
things, via ports.

Regrettably, this is hosted on Sourceforge, who've interposed a
'pick-a-mirror' webpage when you attempt to do a regular http
download.

So, the port build fails, and 'make release' fails, and rerunning
'make release' scrubs all of your work.

I seem to have two options:

- convince Sourceforge to unbreak themselves, or
- install these documentation tools on my system, and make them
  somehow available in the chrooted environment.

I'm trying the latter: I was able to circumvent Sourceforge enough
to get the port installed.

I _think_ I need to affect src/etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist to reflect
the /usr/local/share/sgml/docbook tree, but I may be wrong.  My
only effort to edit this file resulted in an even worse 'make
release' effort; I must be misunderstanding the syntax of that file.

Does anyone have any advice on how to get the 'make release' chroot
environment to take advantage of the ports I've already got installed?

Or have I missed the point entirely?

Thanks for your time...

Try manually downloading a copy of the distfile into your non-chrooted
/usr/ports/distfiles directory.  make release copies all your
distfiles into the chrooted environment.

 Try manually downloading a copy of the distfile into your non-chrooted
 /usr/ports/distfiles directory.  make release copies all your
 distfiles into the chrooted environment.

I did copy those file to my /usr/ports/distfiles manually, in preperation
for installing them in the base system;

  % ls -ld /usr/ports/distfiles/docb*
  -rw-r--r--  1 root  ports   61031 Jan 10  1997
  /usr/ports/distfiles/docbk30.tar.Z
  -rw---  1 root  ports  336295 Jun 30 02:44
  /usr/ports/distfiles/docbook-dsssl-1.73.tar.gz
  -rw-r--r--  1 root  ports  217706 Jun 30 20:32
  /usr/ports/distfiles/docbook-dsssl-doc-1.73.tar.gz

But, not all of /usr/ports/distfiles is copied into the chrooted directory.
I have well over a hundred files there, and oly a dozen or so got
subsequently fetched.

I've saved a typescript of my efforts, if you think perusing that would be
helpful.

I ran 'make release' thusly:

  /usr/bin/time make release \
CHROOTDIR=/home/release \
BUILDNAME=4.5-RELEASE  \
CVSROOT=/home/ncvs \
RELEASETAG=RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE

in a script session.  The resulting typescript has this line in it
(I've wrapped it):

  if [ -d /home/src/release/../../ports/distfiles/ ]; then cp -rp
  /home/src/release/../../ports/distfiles
  /home/release/usr/ports/distfiles;  fi

And sure enough. /home/src/release/../../ports/distfiles/ is not
congruent to /usr/src/distfiles.  In fact, I don't see where in
that typescript file the distfiles tree is copied at all.  Did I
mis-invoke make?

If anyone cares, here's a typescript of my efforts:

  http://www.numachi.com/~reichert/misc/typescript.make_release.1025660080

Again, thanks for your time...

src/release/Makefile assumes that src/release directory is actually
