Hello out there.
Thank you very much.
The last time I tried making a install media from a local installation 
is quite a lot of years since. I found " man release(7)" very helpful, 
but at the end it turns out that I didn't understood what is happening.

I tried to fullfill all prerequisites needed to make a release, i.e.

1) having a populated /usr/src (SVN managed), I recently made a 'make 
buildworld', I created  a suitable release-folder to chroot to for the 
release and I issued MAKE_DVD=yes and MAKE_ISOS=yes to ensure the build 
of ISO images for a DVD. I'll show the command issued at the end.

But the build-process seems to drop everything it builds into 
/usr/src/release (from where the commande 'make release' has to be 
issued as docuemnted in 'release (7)'.

Here's the command:

Folders /home/release and /usr/src exists, 'make buildworld' has been 
issued and successfully finished. The following commands are issued 
regarding the release (7) manpage:

cd /usr/src/release
make release SVNROOT=/usr/src NODOC=yes MAKE_DVD=yes MAKE_ISOS=yes\ 
CHROOTDIR=/home/release BUILDNAME=SOMETHING_NEW

I do not ommit TARGET_ARCH and TARGET since I do not crossbuild (I'm on 
amd64).
The outcome is that the make-release process seems to flood 
/usr/src/release as it never 'chroot' to the given CHROOTDIR. I'm not 
familiar with this and I exepct this to be a kind of mistake. Correct me 
if I'm wrong.

Oliver
