Re: Building VM-IMAGE(s) from Source

Vermaden,

Very useful script! Thx.

Also, I noticed that your custom.conf contains "release/15" instead of
"releng/15" as a source branch. I'm confident you're aware there is no
"release/15" branch on the git repo so you probably just added it
subconsciously. It happens when working with FreeBSD (it always tends to
push you beyond the limits).

Happy hacking /#\
