If you're using 'make release' you're expected to a) have your own
local copy of the FreeBSD src CVS repository and b) know how to use
cvs(1) and make(1). 'make release' is aimed at expert users;
beginners would be well advised to steer clear of it.
What you do is edit the /usr/src/release/Makefile, specifically the
CHROOTDIR, BUILDNAME and CVSROOT it tells you to set. Or specify them
on the command line if you prefer.
Then you setup the ${LOCAL_PATCHES} variable to point to a file of
patches to apply to the checked out chroot'ed source tree (hint: try
applying a patch to ${CHROOTDIR}/etc/make.conf to fiddle with the make
flags). Similarly you can run a shell script ${LOCAL_SCRIPT} to do
whatever you want to the chroot'ed sources before building.
Cheers,
Matthew
