 .Dt RELEASE 7
 .Os
 .Sh NAME
 .Nm release
 .Nd "release building infrastructure"
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 .Fx
 provides a complete build environment suitable for users to make
 full releases of the
 .Fx
 operating system.
 All of the tools necessary to build a release are available from the
 .Fx
 source code repository in
 .Pa src/release .
 A complete release can be built with only a single command,
 including the creation of ISO images suitable for burning to CD-ROM,
 memory stick images, and a network install directory.
 This command is aptly named
 .Dq Li "make release" .
 .Pp
 For some users, it may be desirable to provide an absolutely clean
 build environment, with no local modifications to the source tree or to
 .Xr make.conf 5 ,
 and with clean checkouts of specific versions of the doc, src, and ports
 trees.
 For this purpose, a script
 .Pq Pa src/release/release.sh
 is provided to automate these checkouts and then execute
 .Dq Li "make release"
 in a clean
 .Xr chroot 8 .
 .Pp
 Before attempting to build a release, the user is expected to be
 familiar with the contents of
 .Xr build 7 ,
 and should have experience upgrading systems from source.
 .Pp
 The release build process requires that
 .Pa /usr/obj
 be populated with the output of
 .Dq Li "make buildworld"
 and
 .Dq Li "make buildkernel" .
 This is necessary to provide the object files for the release or, when
 using
 .Pa release.sh ,
 so that the object files for a complete system can be installed into a clean
 .Xr chroot 8
 environment.
 .Pp
 If the target release build is for a different architecture or machine type,
 the
 .Va TARGET
 and
 .Va TARGET_ARCH
 variables must be used.
 See the supported
 .Fa release.conf
 variables for more information.
 .Pp
 The release procedure on some architectures may also require that the
 .Xr md 4
 (memory disk) device driver be present in the kernel
 .Pq either by being compiled in or available as a module .
 .Pp
 This document does not cover source code management, quality
 assurance, or other aspects of the release engineering process.
 .Sh CLEAN RELEASE GENERATION
 Official releases of
 .Fx
 are produced in a clean environment to
 ensure consistency between the versions of the src, ports, and doc trees
 and to avoid contamination from the host system
 .Po such as local patches, changes
 to
 .Xr make.conf 5 ,
 etc.
 .Pc .
 This is accomplished using the wrapper script
 .Pa src/release/release.sh .
 .Pp
 .Ic release.sh
 .Op Fl c Ar release.conf
 .Pp
 .Ic release.sh
 checks out the
 .Li src/ ,
 .Li ports/ ,
 and
 .Li doc/
 trees to
 .Va CHROOTDIR ,
 then calls
 .Dq Li "make buildworld"
 and
 .Dq Li "make installworld"
 to generate a
 .Xr chroot 8
 environment.
 Next,
 .Dq Li "make release"
 is run within the
 .Xr chroot 8
 environment and places the result in
 .Pa $CHROOTDIR/R .
 .Pp

 .Ed
 .Sh MAKEFILE TARGETS
 The release makefile
 .Pq Pa src/release/Makefile
 is fairly abstruse.
 Most developers will only be concerned with the
 .Cm release
 and
 .Cm install
 targets.
 .\" XXX: Some sort of introduction to this list?  All the others have one.
 .Bl -tag -width ".Cm packagesystem"
 .It Cm release
 Meta-target to build all release media and distributions applicable to this
 platform.
 .It Cm install
 Copy all produced release media to
 .Pa ${DESTDIR} .
 .It Cm cdrom
 Builds installation CD-ROM images.
 This may require the
 .Xr md 4
 (memory disk) device driver be present in the kernel
 (either by being compiled in or available as a module).
 This target produces files called
 .Pa disc1.iso
 and
 .Pa bootonly.iso
 as its output.
 .It Cm dvdrom
 Builds installation DVD-ROM images.
 This may require the
 .Xr md 4
 (memory disk) device driver be present in the kernel
 (either by being compiled in or available as a module).
 This target produces the
 .Pa dvd1.iso
 file as its output.
 .It Cm memstick
 Builds an installation memory stick image named
 .Pa memstick.img .
 Not applicable on all platforms.
 Requires that the
 .Xr md 4
 .Pq memory disk
 device driver be present in the kernel
 .Pq either by being compiled in or available as a module .
 .It Cm mini-memstick
 Similar to
 .Cm memstick ,
 with the exception that the installation distribution sets
 are not included.
 .It Cm ftp
 Creates a directory named
 .Pa ftp
 containing the distribution files used in network installations
 and suitable for upload to an FTP mirror.
 .It Cm vm-image
 Creates virtual machine disk images in various formats.
 The
 .Cm vm-image
 target requires the
 .Va WITH_VMIMAGES
 .Xr make 1
 environment variable to be set to a non-null value.
 .It Cm vm-cloudware
 Builds
 .Fx
 virtual machine images for various cloud hosting providers.
 See
 .Qq CLOUD HOSTING MACHINE IMAGES
 for implementation details.
 .It Cm list-cloudware
 Displays the list of valid
 .Va CLOUDWARE
 values.
 .It Cm list-vmtargets
 Displays the list of valid
 .Va VMFORMAT
 and
 .Va CLOUDWARE
 values.
 .El
 .Pp
 Major subtargets called by targets above:
 .Bl -tag -width ".Cm packagesystem"
 .It Cm packagesystem
 Generates all the distribution archives
 .Pq base, kernel, ports, doc
 applicable on this platform.
 .It Cm disc1
 Builds a bootable installation system containing all the distribution files
 packaged by the
 .Cm packagesystem
 target, and suitable for imaging by the
 .Cm cdrom ,
 .Cm dvdrom
 and
 .Cm memstick
 targets.
 .It Cm reldoc
 Builds the release documentation.
 This includes the release notes,
 hardware guide, and installation instructions.
 Other documentation, such as the Handbook,
 is built during the
 .Cm base.txz
 target invoked by
 .Cm packagesystem .
 .El
 .Sh ENVIRONMENT
 Optional variables:
 .Bl -tag -width ".Ev TARGET_ARCH"
 .It Ev OSRELEASE
 Optional base name for generated media images when invoking the
 .Cm install
 target
 .Pq e.g., FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64 .
 Defaults to the output of
 .Ic `uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -p`
 within the chroot.
 .It Ev WORLDDIR
 Location of a directory containing the src tree.
 By default, the directory
 above the one containing the makefile
 .Pq Pa src .
 .It Ev PORTSDIR
 Location of a directory containing the ports tree.
 By default,
 .Pa /usr/ports .
 If it is unset or cannot be found, ports will not be included in the release.
 .It Ev NOPORTS
 If defined, the Ports Collection will be omitted from the release.
 .It Ev NOSRC
 If set, do not include system source code in the release.
 .It Ev TARGET
 The target hardware platform.
 This is analogous to the
 .Dq Nm uname Fl m
 output.
 This is necessary to cross-build some target architectures.
 For example, cross-building for ARM64 machines requires
 .Ev TARGET_ARCH Ns = Ns Li aarch64
 and
 .Ev TARGET Ns = Ns Li arm64 .
 If not set,
 .Ev TARGET
 defaults to the current hardware platform.
 .It Ev TARGET_ARCH
 The target machine processor architecture.
 This is analogous to the
 .Dq Nm uname Fl p
 output.
 Set this to cross-build for a different architecture.
 If not set,
 .Ev TARGET_ARCH
 defaults to the current machine architecture, unless
 .Ev TARGET
 is also set, in which case it defaults to the appropriate
 value for that platform.
 Typically, one only needs to set
 .Ev TARGET .

 .Sh EXAMPLES
 The following sequence of commands can be used to build a
 .Dq "-CURRENT snapshot":
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 cd /usr
 git clone -b main https://git.freebsd.org/src.git src
 cd src
 make buildworld buildkernel
 cd release
 make obj
 make release
 make install DESTDIR=/var/freebsd-snapshot
 .Ed
 .Pp
 After running these commands, all produced distribution files (tarballs
 for FTP, CD-ROM images, etc.) are available in the
 .Pa /var/freebsd-snapshot
 directory.
 .Pp
 The following sequence of commands can be used to build a
 .Dq "-CURRENT snapshot"
 in a clean environment, including ports and documentation:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 cd /usr/src/release
 sh release.sh
 .Ed
 .Pp
 Optionally, a configuration file can be used customize the release build,
 such as the subversion revision to use, the branch of the subversion tree for
 .Li src/ ,
 .Li ports/ ,
 and
 .Li doc/ .
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 cd /usr/src/release
 sh release.sh -c $HOME/release.conf
 .Ed
 .Pp
 Configuration files specific to various supported embedded systems, such as
 the Raspberry Pi, exist in the directory corresponding to the
 .Va TARGET
 .Xr make 1
 variable.
 For example, to build an image for the Raspberry Pi:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 cd /usr/src/release
 sh release.sh -c arm/RPI-B.conf
 .Ed
 .Pp
 To build an image for the Raspberry Pi 3:
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 cd /usr/src/release
 sh release.sh -c arm64/RPI3.conf
 .Ed
 .Pp
 After running these commands, all prepared release files are available in the
 .Pa /scratch
 directory.
 The target directory can be changed by specifying the
 .Va CHROOTDIR
 variable in
 .Li release.conf .
 .Sh COMPATIBILITY
 The reldoc target was removed in commit f61e92ca5a23, and
 .Ev DOCDIR ,
 .Ev DOCBRANCH ,
 .Ev DOC_UPDATE_SKIP ,
 and
 .Ev NODOC
 are therefore no longer supported.

 .Sh HISTORY
 .Fx
 1.x
 used a manual checklist, compiled by
 .An Rod Grimes ,
 to produce a release.
 Apart from being incomplete, the list put a lot of specific demands on
 available file systems and was quite torturous to execute.
 .Pp
 As part of the
 .Fx 2.0
 release engineering effort, significant
 effort was spent getting
 .Pa src/release/Makefile
 into a shape where it could at least automate most of the tediousness
 of building a release in a sterile environment.
 .Pp
 For the
 .Fx 9.0
 release,
 .Pa src/release/Makefile
 was overhauled and the wrapper script
 .Pa src/release/generate-release.sh
 introduced to support the introduction of a new installer.
 .Pp
 For the
 .Fx 9.2
 release,
 .Pa src/release/release.sh
 was introduced to support per-build configuration files.
 .Pa src/release/release.sh
 is heavily based on the
 .Pa src/release/generate-release.sh
 script.
 .Pp
 At near 1000 revisions spread over multiple branches, the
 .Xr git 1
 log of
 .Pa src/release/Makefile
 contains a vivid historical record of some
 of the hardships release engineers go through.
 .Sh AUTHORS
 .Pa src/release/Makefile
