System: NetBSD atomic.clock.org 1.2G NetBSD 1.2G (ATOMIC) #64: Tue Aug 19 07:36:24 PDT 1997 root@atomic.clock.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/ATOMIC sparc
>Description:
make snapshot fails because the required README files have been
removed from the repository. They need to be replaced, or the
requirement for them removed. Both Sun 3 and SPARC fail this way.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/src/etc
make snapshot
[lots of stuff elided - eef]
cp -p /usr/src/etc/etc.sun3/README /altroot/snapshot/README
cp: /usr/src/etc/etc.sun3/README: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
>Fix:
1. commit new README files
or
2. change Makefile not to require README file
