if you are talking about this: $ sudo env DESTDIR=/usr/dst RELEASEDIR=/usr/release make release exec /usr/bin/sudo make distribution-etc-root-var setenv DESTDIR before doing that! *** Error 1 in /usr/src/etc (Makefile:77 'distribution-etc-root-var': @false) *** Error 1 in /usr/src/etc (Makefile:228 'distribution') that is the reason for this error, since root is not in group wsrc, and sudo is getting invoked twice, once by me and then again by make. that command does work without SUDO being set (by mk.conf or otherwise). i was trying to use sudo to invoke each command for logging, which is non-standard. however, what is recommended in release(8) and the faq is: # cd /usr/src/etc && make release i was incomplete before, as this also fails: # cat /etc/mk.conf SUDO=/usr/bin/sudo # cd /usr/src/etc/ && make release setenv DESTDIR before doing that! *** Error 1 in /usr/src/etc (Makefile:77 'release': @false) so this results from following the documentation, including the recommendations in ports(7) that SUDO can be set in /etc/mk.conf.
