26.\" 27.Dd March 5, 2014 28.Dt RELEASE 7 29.Os 30.Sh NAME 31.Nm release 32.Nd "release building infrastructure" 33.Sh DESCRIPTION 34.Fx 35provides a complete build environment suitable for users to make 36full releases of the 37.Fx 38operating system. 39All of the tools necessary to build a release are available from the 40.Fx 41source code repository in 42.Pa src/release . 43A complete release can actually be built with only a single command, 44including the creation of ISO images suitable for burning to CD-ROM, 45memory stick images, and an FTP install directory. 46This command is aptly named 47.Dq Li "make release" . 48.Pp 49For some users, it may be desirable to provide an absolutely clean 50build environment, with no local modifications to the source tree or to 51.Xr make.conf 5 , 52and with clean checkouts of specific versions of the doc, src, and ports 53trees. 54For this purpose, a script 55.Pq Pa src/release/release.sh 56is provided to automate these checkouts and then execute 57.Dq Li "make release" 58in a clean 59.Xr chroot 8 . 60.Pp 61Before attempting to build a release, the user is expected to be 62familiar with the contents of 63.Xr build 7 , 64and should have experience upgrading systems from source. 65.Pp 66The release build process requires that 67.Pa /usr/obj 68be populated with the output of 69.Dq Li "make buildworld" 70and 71.Dq Li "make buildkernel" . 72This is necessary to provide the object files for the release or, when 73using 74.Pa release.sh , 75so that the object files for a complete system can be installed into a clean 76.Xr chroot 8 77environment. 78.Pp 79If the target release build is for a different architecture or machine type, 80the 81.Va TARGET 82and 83.Va TARGET_ARCH 84variables must be used. 85See the supported 86.Fa release.conf 87variables for more information. 88.Pp 89The release procedure on some architectures may also require that the 90.Xr md 4 91(memory disk) device driver be present in the kernel 92.Pq either by being compiled in or available as a module . 93.Pp 94This document does not cover source code management, quality 95assurance, or other aspects of the release engineering process. 96.Sh CLEAN RELEASE GENERATION 97Official releases of 98.Fx 99are produced in a totally clean environment to 100ensure consistency between the versions of the src, ports, and doc trees 101and to avoid contamination from the host system 102.Po such as local patches, changes 103to 104.Xr make.conf 5 , 105etc. 106.Pc . 107This is accomplished using the wrapper script 108.Pa src/release/release.sh .

the makefile 421.Pq Pa src . 422.It Ev PORTSDIR 423Location of a directory containing the ports tree. 424By default, 425.Pa /usr/ports . 426If it is unset or cannot be found, ports will not be included in the release. 427.It Ev DOCDIR 428Location of a directory containing the doc tree. 429By default, 430.Pa /usr/doc . 431If it is unset or cannot be found, most documentation will not be included in 432the release; see 433.Ev NODOC 434below. 435.It Ev NOPORTS 436If defined, the Ports Collection will be omitted from the release. 437.It Ev NOSRC 438If set, do not include system source code in the release. 439.It Ev NODOC 440If defined, the XML-based documentation from the 441.Fx 442Documentation Project will not be built. 443However, the 444.Dq doc 445distribution will still be created with the minimal documentation set 446provided in 447.Pa src/share/doc . 448.It Ev TARGET 449The target hardware platform. 450This is analogous to the 451.Dq Nm uname Fl m 452output. 453This is necessary to cross-build some target architectures. 454For example, cross-building for PC98 machines requires 455.Ev TARGET_ARCH Ns = Ns Li i386 456and 457.Ev TARGET Ns = Ns Li pc98 . 458If not set, 459.Ev TARGET 460defaults to the current hardware platform. 461.It Ev TARGET_ARCH 462The target machine processor architecture. 463This is analogous to the 464.Dq Nm uname Fl p 465output. 466Set this to cross-build for a different architecture. 467If not set, 468.Ev TARGET_ARCH 469defaults to the current machine architecture, unless 470.Ev TARGET 471is also set, in which case it defaults to

557.Re 558.Sh HISTORY 559.Fx 5601.x 561used a manual checklist, compiled by 562.An Rod Grimes , 563to produce a release. 564Apart from being incomplete, the list put a lot of specific demands on 565available file systems and was quite torturous to execute. 566.Pp 567As part of the 568.Fx 2.0 569release engineering effort, significant 570effort was spent getting 571.Pa src/release/Makefile 572into a shape where it could at least automate most of the tediousness 573of building a release in a sterile environment. 574.Pp 575For the 576.Fx 9.0 577release, 578.Pa src/release/Makefile 579was overhauled and the wrapper script 580.Pa src/release/generate-release.sh 581introduced to support the introduction of a new installer. 582.Pp 583For the 584.Fx 9.2 585release, 586.Pa src/release/release.sh 587was introduced to support per-build configuration files. 588.Pa src/release/release.sh 589is heavily based on the 590.Pa src/release/generate-release.sh 591script. 592.Pp 593At near 1000 revisions spread over multiple branches, the 594.Xr svn 1 595log of 596.Pa src/release/Makefile 597contains a vivid historical record of some 598of the hardships release engineers go

All the others have one. 340.Bl -tag -width ".Cm packagesystem" 341.It Cm release 342Meta-target to build all release media and distributions applicable to this 343platform. 344.It Cm install 345Copy all produced release media to 346.Pa ${DESTDIR} . 347.It Cm cdrom 348Builds installation CD-ROM images. 349This may require the 350.Xr md 4 351(memory disk) device driver be present in the kernel 352(either by being compiled in or available as a module). 353This target produces files called 354.Pa disc1.iso 355and 356.Pa bootonly.iso 357as its output. 358.It Cm dvdrom 359Builds installation DVD-ROM images. 360This may require the 361.Xr md 4 362(memory disk) device driver be present in the kernel 363(either by being compiled in or available as a module). 364This target produces the 365.Pa dvd1.iso 366file as its output. 367.It Cm memstick 368Builds an installation memory stick image named 369.Pa memstick.img . 370Not applicable on all platforms. 371Requires that the 372.Xr md 4 373.Pq memory disk 374device driver be present in the kernel 375.Pq either by being compiled in or available as a module . 376.It Cm mini-memstick 377Similar to 378.Cm memstick , 379with the exception that the installation distribution sets 380are not included. 381.It Cm ftp 382Creates a directory named 383.Pa ftp 384containing the distribution files used in network installations 385and suitable for upload to an FTP mirror. 386.El 387.Pp 388Major subtargets called by targets above: 389.Bl -tag -width ".Cm packagesystem" 390.It Cm packagesystem 391Generates all the distribution archives 392.Pq base, kernel, ports, doc 393applicable on this platform. 394.It Cm system 395Builds a bootable installation system containing all the distribution files 396packaged by the 397.Cm packagesystem 398target, and suitable for imaging by the 399.Cm cdrom , 400.Cm dvdrom 401and 402.Cm memstick 403targets. 404.It Cm reldoc 405Builds the release documentation. 406This includes the release notes, 407hardware guide, and installation instructions. 408Other documentation, such as the Handbook, 409is built during the 410.Cm base.txz 411target invoked by 412.Cm packagesystem . 413.El 414.Sh ENVIRONMENT 415Optional variables: 416.Bl -tag -width ".Ev TARGET_ARCH" 417.It Ev OSRELEASE 418Optional base name for generated media images 419.Pq e.g., FreeBSD-9.0-RC2-amd64 . 420Defaults to the output of 421.Ic `uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -p` 422within the chroot. 423.It Ev WORLDDIR 424Location of a directory containing the src tree. 425By default, the directory 426above the one containing the makefile 427.Pq Pa src . 428.It Ev PORTSDIR 429Location of a directory containing the ports tree. 430By default, 431.Pa /usr/ports . 432If it is unset or cannot be found, ports will not be included in the release. 433.It Ev DOCDIR 434Location of a directory containing the doc tree. 435By default, 436.Pa /usr/doc . 437If it is unset or cannot be found, most documentation will not be included in 438the release; see 439.Ev NODOC 440below. 441.It Ev NOPORTS 442If defined, the Ports Collection will be omitted from the release. 443.It Ev NOSRC 444If set, do not include system source code in the release. 445.It Ev NODOC 446If defined, the XML-based documentation from the 447.Fx 448Documentation Project will not be built. 449However, the 450.Dq doc 451distribution will still be created with the minimal documentation set 452provided in 453.Pa src/share/doc . 454.It Ev TARGET 455The target hardware platform. 456This is analogous to the 457.Dq Nm uname Fl m 458output. 459This is necessary to cross-build some target architectures. 460For example, cross-building for PC98 machines requires 461.Ev TARGET_ARCH Ns = Ns Li i386 462and 463.Ev TARGET Ns = Ns Li pc98 . 464If not set, 465.Ev TARGET 466defaults to the current hardware platform. 467.It Ev TARGET_ARCH 468The target machine processor architecture. 469This is analogous to the 470.Dq Nm uname Fl p 471output. 472Set this to cross-build for a different architecture. 473If not set, 474.Ev TARGET_ARCH 475defaults to the current machine architecture, unless 476.Ev TARGET 477is also set, in which case it defaults to the appropriate 478value for that platform. 479Typically, one only needs to set 480.Ev TARGET . 481.El 482.Sh FILES 483.Bl -tag -compact -width Pa 484.It Pa /usr/doc/Makefile 485.It Pa
