- Add a "CLOUD HOSTING MACHINE IMAGES" section,
documenting the CLOUDWARE and WITH_CLOUDWARE
make(1) environment variables.
- Document the vm-cloudware and list-cloudware
targets.
- Add release/Makefile.vm, release/tools/*.conf
and release/tools/vmimage.subr to FILES.

variables. These are intended to allow bypassing the
'svn co /usr/{src,doc,ports}' step in the chroot when the
tree exists from external means.
The use case here is that /usr/src, /usr/doc, and /usr/ports
in the chroot exist as result of zfs dataset clones, so it
is possible (and happens quite often) that the included
distributions may not be consistent. (This is not the case
for -RELEASE builds, but does happen for snapshot builds.)

When set to a non-empty value, the installation medium is
compressed with gzip(1) as part of the 'install' target in
the release/ directory.
With gzip(1) compression, downloadable image are reduced in
size quite significantly. Build test against head@263927
shows the following:
bootonly.iso: 64% smaller
disc1.iso: 44% smaller
memstick.img: 47% smaller
mini-memstick.img: 65% smaller
dvd1.iso: untested
This option is off by default, I would eventually like to
turn it on by default, and remove the '-k' flag to gzip(1)
so only compressed images are published on FTP.

After several months of testing and fixing (and breaking)
various parts of release/release.sh changes, it is now
possible to build FreeBSD/arm images as part of the release
process.
When EMBEDDEDBUILD is set in the release.conf file, release.sh
will create the build environment, then run a separate script
in release/${XDEV}/release.sh [1]. Currently, only arm is
supported.
The release/${XDEV}/release.sh configures the build environment
specific for the target image, such as installing gcc(1),
installing additional third-party software from the ports tree,
and fetching external sources.
Once the build environment is set up, release/${XDEV}/release.sh
runs Crochet, written by Tim Kientzle, which builds the userland
and kernel, and creates an image that can be written to an SD
card with dd(1). Many thanks to Tim for his work on Crochet.
Sample configurations for FreeBSD/arm boards are in the
release/arm/ directory, and Crochet configuration files for each
board are located in release/tools/arm/. Supported boards at this
time are: BEAGLEBONE, PANDABOARD, RPI-B, and WANDBOARD-QUAD.
Adding support for additional boards will continue in the
projects/release-embedded/ branch, and incrementally merged back
to head/.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for the support and
sponsorship of this project.
[1] XDEV is used in order to keep the various configurations
organized by architecture, but since TARGET and TARGET_ARCH
are used to build the chroot, the values of those variables
cannot be used.

- Add a VCSCMD variable that defaults to 'svn checkout',
and update places 'svn co' is used directly.
- After sourcing a configuration file, prefix SRCBRANCH,
PORTBRANCH, and DOCBRANCH with the SVNROOT.
- Properly capitalize 'FreeBSD.org' in the default SVNROOT.
- Update Copyright.
release.conf.sample:
- Add an example to use git instead of svn, by nullifying
SVNROOT, and setting SRCBRANCH, DOCBRANCH, and PORTBRANCH
to the URL fo a git repository.
release.7:
- Document VCSCMD.

the location of make.conf is not constant and can be
modified via __MAKE_CONF. This change also improves
