make release problems (amd64)

[Daniel O'Connor]

Has anyone done one recently?

I note there aren't any snapshots for this month, so perhaps I'm not alone.

I tried this :-
RELNAME=9.0
BUILDNAME=${RELNAME}-GENESIS
make release CHROOTDIR=/tmp/${RELNAME}-release BUILDNAME=$BUILDNAME HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy:3128 FTP_PROXY=http://proxy:3128 EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src
EXTPORTSDIR=/usr/ports EXTDOCDIR=/usr/doc NOPORTS=YES MAKE_ISOS=YES

However it appears to have started recursively taring up /usr/src/release/dist :-/

[snip]
a ./boot/kernel/linker.hints
mv /usr/src/release/dist/kernel.txz /usr/src/release
mkdir -p /usr/src/release/dist/usr
ln -fs /usr/src/release/.. /usr/src/release/dist/usr/src
cd /usr/src/release/dist && tar cLvJf /usr/src/release/src.txz --exclude .svn  --exclude CVS usr/
src
a usr/src
a usr/src/usr.bin
a usr/src/release
...
a usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/lib32.txz
a usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/kernel.txz

then I killed it.

I'm not sure why it's putting stuff in /usr/src/release rather than /tmp/9.0-GENESIS or /usr/obj somewhere..
