Hi,
Situation - I have a machine that I use to build the base system for
others. I'd like to be able to have multiple copies of /usr/src for
different releases - in particular, RELENG_5_3 and RELENG_5_4. Rather than
just changing my RELENG in the supfile and blowing away the tree each time
I thought I could maintain multiple source trees. One trivial way that
came to mind would be to copy /usr/src to /usr/RELENG_5_3 and
/usr/RELENG_5_4 and replace /usr/src with a symlink that points to the one
I'm using at the time - I don't know if this makes perfect sense, it's
just an idea :)
from my supfile
src-all tag=RELENG_5_4 prefix=/usr/releases/RELENG_5_4
and you can repeat that line for each release you want to follow.
wouldn't suprise me if
/usr/src isn't actually hardcoded into the build and it'll work with the
src tree somewhere
else, though i've always soft linked from /usr/src.
otherwise, i'm not sure how wise it is to build different releases with
a different base system
and different kernel. might want to take a look at /usr/src/release.
