You need your big honkin' patch file that you list in LOCAL_PATCHES and then you need to patch src/release/Makefile manually before you kick off the release. The only extra step is patching src/release/Makefile manually, and there isn't a good way to workaround that, since you always have to bootstrap from something. I've used this approach many times myself in testing release Makefile changes.

PATCHES for Kris Kennaway to commit
I'm interested in the UUCP code only in so far as it is an
unnecessary -- and so far, undefended by you -- change to
code that's working fine for other people.
My interest in a hosting site would be first for a startup,
and second, to host a competitor to the FreeBSD development,
most likely based on FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE, rather than -CURRENT.
I haven't decided to take that step yet (despite WRS continued
ownership of the FreeBSD trademark), or I would have done
so already, but rest assured, your continued dodging of the
UUCP issue is not a positive influence on me.
You may recall that this isn't the first time I've tried to offer my
help in developing and committing your changes to an area of FreeBSD
which you've complained about -- although at least this time you
didn't just ignore my emails outright so you could continue to play
the persecuted hero.
The hell you have. Commit the patches I've posted to -current
over the past two months to make the release build process
more friendly to embedded systems developers, starting with
the patch to let me build an installable CDROM with a config
file other than GENERIC, and I might start to believe you.
After that, you can commit the patches to /sys/conf/param.c to
make maxfiles and maxfilesperproc tunable at boot time, and the
patches to login.c to make it possible to rebadge the login:
and password: prompts, and the patches to /sys/netinet/udp_usrreq.c
to make it so you can tune for a large number of TCP sokets
without tuning for a large number of UDP sockets.
Patches attached.
K PLZ THX.

The change is not undefended. It's been made very clear from the beginning that the security officer team sees the UUCP software as a security liability, and would like the software relegated to ports so as to limit the impact of vulnerabilities. I don't see how your (or Kris's) insistence on continuing this thread can benefit the community. The rest of us don't care about your ego, nor about Kris's. You guys are both being wankers by showing no respect for the time of the readers of this list. Move on already. Ciao, Sheldon.
