more manageable.
- Add some helper variables (CVS_{SRC,DOC,PORTS}ARGS) to be used when
using CVS to checkout files. We stick release tags in these helper
variables if they are defined and then use only one cvs command instead
of two cvs commands with an .ifdef to choose between them.
- rm the old src/doc/ports directories as separate commands from the
CVS comands so that the rm commands don't need to be duplicated.
- Simplify the DOMINIMALDOCPORTS case by overriding RELEASEPORTSMODULE to
be ${MINIMALDOCPORTS} thus removing yet another nearly-duplicate cvs
command in an .ifdef.
- Add support for grabbing src/ and doc/ from external directories
specified via EXTSRCDIR and EXTDOCDIR instead of from CVS. The same
is not done for ports/ quite yet as the DOMINIMALDOCPORTS case is a
bit tricky.
The rerelease target scripts have not been changed to use the helper
variables yet, so there is still some room for improvement.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
