When a new branch is created, some work needs to
be done to specify that the previous branch is no longer
equivalent to HEAD.
As
srcbuild:
Edit /a/portbuild/conf/admin/admin.conf
with the following changes:
Add new-branch to
SRC_BRANCHES.
For what was previously head, change
SRC_BRANCH_ to
branch_SUBDIRreleng/branch.0
(literal zero).
Add
SRC_BRANCH_
new-branch_SUBDIR=head.
Run /a/portbuild/admin/scripts/updatesnap manually.
For each branch that will be supported, do the following:
As portbuild,
kick-start the build for the branch with:
build createarchbranch
As srcbuild,
create
bindist.tar.
