    Hi,

    I don't understand why boot/device.hints are installed with
    distribute target instead distribution, in the Makefile:
    # $FreeBSD: src/etc/Makefile,v 1.313 2003/05/06 07:25:17 dougb Exp $

    I build FreeBSD-4.8 with a shell script near like this:
            export DESTDIR=/usr/src/dest/fbsd-48
            export KERNCONF=SMP
            cd /usr/src && make world
            cd /usr/src/etc && make distribution
            cd /usr/src && make buildkernel installkernel

    I'll try to do the same thing with FreeBSD-5.1 but buildkernel fails
    because make distribution doesn't install boot/device.hints in $DESTDIR.

    /usr/sbin/mergemaster use distribution target too:
        { cd ${SOURCEDIR} &&
          case "${DESTDIR}" in
          '') ;;
          *)
          make DESTDIR=${DESTDIR} distrib-dirs
            ;;
          esac
          make DESTDIR=${TEMPROOT} distrib-dirs &&
          make MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=${TEMPROOT}/usr/obj obj &&
          make MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=${TEMPROOT}/usr/obj DESTDIR=${TEMPROOT} \
              distribution;} ||

    Is-it an error in src/etc/Makefile ?
    Or may I have to use distribute target instead distribution ?

    Luc.
