Uses ""make installworld"" to install a clean system into a chroot(8) environment on the file system. Checks out the specified version of the source code and then rebuilds the entire system in the clean environment with ""make buildworld"". The detailed steps that follow are then executed to package up the different distributions, build the installation floppy disks, build release documentation, and so on.
This target must be built as root with the kern.securelevel sysctl set to -1 (the default).
rerelease
Assumes that the output of a release build has been manually modified, and performs the minimal number of steps to rebuild the release using the intermediate output of the previous ""make release"".
floppies
Generate a new set of boot and fixit floppies. This will call the release.4, release.8, floppies.1, floppies.2, and floppies.3 targets to re-generate the floppy images of a previous ""make release"". This is most often used to build custom boot floppies.
package-split
Generates the portions of the disc 1 and disc 2 images related to packages. It uses the list of desired packages from the src/release/scripts/package-split.py script to pull packages out of a package build provided by the ports team and organize them appropriately. The resulting directory can then be passed to ""make release"" via the CD_PACKAGE_TREE variable to populate the ISO images built by the iso.1 target with the correct package related bits.
Targets called by ""make release"":
release.1
Cleans out the ${CHROOTDIR}/R directory and uses mtree(8) to build the directory hierarchy for the system.
release.2
Installs the system into the distribution directories.
release.3
Makes and installs the GENERIC kernel as well as any other kernels listed in KERNELS.
release.4
Uses crunchgen(1) to build "crunched" binaries to live on the installation floppies.
release.5
Builds synthetic distributions, and cleans up the previously built distribution trees.
release.6
Creates tarballs of the assembled distribution trees.
release.7
Makes source distributions.
release.8
Creates the MFS root file systems.
floppies.1
Creates the boot and kernel floppies.
floppies.2
Creates the fixit floppy.
floppies.3
Finalizes the ${CHROOTDIR}/R/ftp/stage/floppies staging directory.
ftp.1
Sets up a suitable area for FTP installations in ${CHROOTDIR}/R/ftp.
cdrom.1
Create the layout for the live file system CD-ROM image in ${CHROOTDIR}/R/cdrom.
cdrom.2
Create the layout for the first and second CD-ROM images.
cdrom.3
Create the layout for the boot-only CD-ROM image and the boot-only UFS miniroot image.
iso.1
Builds ISO images (installation and "live" file system) from the CD-ROM release area (disabled by default, see MAKE_ISOS below).
fetch-distfiles
Fetches distfiles needed during the release build that are not already in RELEASEDISTFILES.
doc.1
Builds all of the necessary tools to turn the .Fx Documentation Project source documents (SGML, XML) into HTML and text documents that will accompany the release. Also, builds and installs the actual user documentation. This includes the Handbook, FAQ, articles, and so on.
doc.2
Builds the release documentation. This includes the release notes, hardware guide, and installation instructions.
The name of the release to be built. This is used to set the RELEASE value in sys/conf/newvers.sh, which affects the output of uname(1).
CHROOTDIR
The directory to be used as the chroot(8) environment for the entire release build. This file system should have at least 3.2 gigabytes of free space on the i386 architecture.
CVSROOT
The location of the .Fx CVS repository. This path name is in reference to the real system root, not the root of the chroot(8) directory tree.
Optional variables:
CD_PACKAGE_TREE
A directory containing extra bits for the first and second CD-ROM images. The extra files for the first disc should be in ${CD_PACKAGE_TREE}/disc1 and the extra files for the second disc should be in ${CD_PACKAGE_TREE}/disc2. Typically, this variable will be set to the output directory of an earlier invocation of the package-split target.
CVSARGS
Additional arguments for cvs(1) that come before the subcommands such as ""-qR"".
CVSCMDARGS
Additional arguments for cvs(1) checkout and update commands. For example, setting this variable to ""-D ’01/01/2002 00:00:00 GMT’"" for ""make release"" or ""make rerelease"" will ask cvs(1) to check out or update sources as of 00:00:00 GMT, January 1 2002, respectively.
DOC_LANG
The list of languages and encodings the SGML-based documentation should be built for. If not set, the documentation is built for all available languages.
DOCRELEASETAG
The CVS tag to use when checking out the documentation tree. Usually, the head of the documentation tree is used by default. If RELEASETAG specifies a release tag, then the associated release version is used as the default instead.
EXTLOCALDIR
The directory that will be copied to ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/local.
EXTSRCDIR
The directory specified by this variable will be copied into ${CHROOTDIR}/usr/src instead of that directory being populated by a CVS checkout. For ""rerelease"", this will NOT be copied; cvs update will be used instead.
KERNEL_FLAGS
The contents of this variable are passed to make(1) when building kernels during the release build. For example, setting this variable to ""-j 4"" will instruct make(1) to execute up to four processes at a time.
KERNELS
Specifies a list of additional kernel configurations to compile and install into the "base" distribution. Each kernel is installed into /boot/<config> so that it can be booted from the loader via ""boot <config>"".
LOCAL_PATCHES
Patch files against /usr/src that will be applied in the chroot(8) environment before the release build begins.
PATCH_FLAGS
Arguments for the patch(1) command used to apply LOCAL_PATCHES patch file.
LOCAL_SCRIPT
A script that will be run in the chroot(8) environment immediately after any local patches are applied.
MAKE_ISOS
If defined, bootable ISO CD-ROM images will be created from the contents of the CD-ROM stage directory.
NOCDROM
If defined, the CD-ROM stage directories will not be created.
NODOC
If defined, the SGML-based documentation from the .Fx Documentation Project will not be built. However, the "doc" distribution will still be created with the minimal documentation set provided in src/share/doc.
NO_FLOPPIES
If defined, no boot and fixit floppy disk images will be created (for those platforms supporting them).
NOPORTS
If defined, the Ports Collection will be omitted from the release.
PORTSRELEASETAG
The CVS tag to use when checking out the ports tree. Usually, the head of the ports tree is used by default. If RELEASETAG specifies a release tag, then the associated release version is used as the default instead.
NO_PREFETCHDISTFILES
If this variable is defined, then distfiles needed during the release build will not be downloaded prior to entering the chroot(8) environment. Note that if NO_PREFETCHDISTFILES is not set, the fetching is done after any distfiles are obtained via RELEASEDISTFILES.
RELEASEDISTFILES
The directory where the distribution files for ports required by the release build can be found. This may save a significant amount of time over downloading the distfiles through a slow link.
RELEASENOUPDATE
If this variable is defined for ""make rerelease"", the source code will not be updated with ""cvs update"".
RELEASETAG
The CVS tag corresponding to the release that is to be built. If undefined, the release will be built from the HEAD of the CVS tree (a ""-CURRENT snapshot"").
SEPARATE_LIVEFS
Store the live file system on its own CD-ROM image rather than placing it on the first disc.
TARGET_ARCH
The target machine processor architecture. This is analogous to the "uname-p" output. Set this to cross-build for a different architecture.
TARGET
The target hardware platform. This is analogous to the "uname-m" output. This is necessary to cross-build some target architectures. For example, cross-building for PC98 machines requires TARGET_ARCH = i386 and TARGET = pc98.
WORLDDIR
The directory where ""make buildworld"" was run; defaults to ${.CURDIR}/.. which usually points to /usr/src.
WORLD_FLAGS
The contents of this variable are passed to make(1) when building world during the release build. For example, setting this variable to ""-j 4"" will instruct make(1) to execute up to four processes at a time.
