$DragonFly: src/nrelease/README,v 1.3 2007/05/13 22:25:41 swildner Exp $ The DragonFly framework for building ISO image (nrelease) ========================================================= Important user-tunable variables -------------------------------- ISODIR default prefix of ISOFILE and ISOROOT ISOFILE name of the ISO image to generate ISOROOT location where to fresh world is installed to KERNCONF kernel configuration to use PKGSRC_PACKAGES default list of packages to be added to the ISO PKGSRC_PKG_ADD location of pkgsrc-style pkg_add used during build PKGSRC_PKG_PATH location of binary packages to be added to the ISO PKGSRC_BOOTSTRAP_FILE location of the bootstrap kit (this must be local, PKGSRC_PKG_PATH can be remote) PKGSRC_DB db location used by the bootstrap kit PKGSRC_PREFIX localbase used by the bootstrap kit PKGSRC_RSYNC_SRC where to fetch packages from during make fetch WITH_INSTALLER if defined, the BSD installer is added to the target The default values match the packages from packages.stura.uni-rostock.de. Important targets ----------------- fetch fetches the bootstrap kit and binary packages using rsync release builds world and kernel, installs them, adds packages and prepares the ISO image quickrel same as release, but use quickworld and quickkernel realquickrel same as release, but skips buildworld and buildkernel First time usage ---------------- The nrelease framework expects to find a working pkg_add from pkgsrc. You can use the bootstrap kit, which matches the default configuration, or install it yourself. If you use a location other than /usr/pkg, you have to specify PKGSRC_PKG_ADD in make.conf. If you want to have any packages install in the ISO (the default), run ``make fetch'' first, to get them and the bootstrap kit used in the ISO. By default, the current directory is used, the location can and should be overridden by PKGSRC_PKG_PATH in make.conf. RELEASE ENGINEERING -------------------------------- The steps required for engineering a release are documented in (CVS) doc/notes/release.txt. How to branch the CVS tree, etc. They were put in an out of the way place so normal developers would not accidently try to run the commands in question.
