Subj: 	Problem resolving backing tree names

Hello.

When I try to create a sandbox backed against any of the following trees:

	v12supportx.nightly
	v13bsupportx.nightly
	v20supportx.nightly

when I don't have a default sandbox, I get the following error:

	>> WARNING in mksb:
	>> v12supportx.nightly is not a legal, accessible sandbox.
	>> Will prompt for this information.
	No known current builds to pick from.
	Enter absolute path to backing tree or name from build list:

I suspect the problem is that /usr/sde/build_list does not contain entries
for the above trees.  It does contain entries for v12supportos,
v12supportos.nightly, v12supportx, etc. and I can create sandboxes backed
against those trees.

The problem doesn't show up if I have a default sandbox.  Evidently, mksb
reads the default sandbox's rc_files/shared file which in turn includes
../link/rc_files/shared and that defines:

	build_base /usr/sde/osf1/build

Apparently, this overrides /usr/sde/build_list.

If my conjectures are correct, could you add the trees listed above to
/usr/sde/build_list?

Thank you,
John F.

Yes, your conjectures are correct and those entries were missing. They're
in there now, although it may take a little while for your /usr/sde
server to be updated.
