>Description:
>From Rick Miller via -questions:
I performed a `make release` with FreeBSD 8.3p4 sources that built a secondary
kernel (called DEBUG). It ended up in the release inside kernels/ as expected.
The install.cfg file includes the line:
dists=base kernels GENERIC SMP DEBUG doc catpages
DEBUG was added to the above along with the new release build. All
distributions get installed with the exception of DEBUG. In looking through the
sysinstall sources [...] it appears as though the sources need to be modified
to support a new DEBUG distribution.
(end quote)
This has been confirmed and the attached patch.txt addresses this, adding the
DEBUG kernel distribition to the list of selectable (either via menu or via
install.cfg) kernels.
>How-To-Repeat:
Produce installation media under RELENG_8 using release(7). Attempt to craft an
automated installer that installs the new DEBUG kernel distribution. Fail
(DEBUG kernel distribution not installed as desired because code lacks
knowledge of this new dist-set).
>Fix:
See attached patch.txt adding support for this new dist-set.
