Since I use bits of NOTES as well as GENERIC, I find it easier to
include the current $FreeBSD lines from GENERIC and both NOTES files
in my local config file. I then have a shell script that extracts the
$FreeBSD lines from my config file and cvs diffs them against the
current GENERIC/NOTES versions. I then update my config file with any
new $FreeBSD lines and include or ignore the actual config changes as
appropriate.
Given a list of local config files, the script is basically:
cd /usr/src
while file=3Dshift; do
echo "######### Differences in $file"
awk '$2 =3D=3D "$FreeBSD:" { print substr($3, 5, length($3) - 6), $4 }' =
$file |
while read x ver; do
cvs -R diff -u -r$ver $x
done
done

Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement
an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
