I have one thing I have been thinking on giving it a try in a few weeks. Changing mergemaster to indicate files to be either ignored or copied. Kind of an exception file. Haven't looked at the code so I don't know how difficult it would be. The basic idea is that there are files which ones knows in advance what one wants done with the file. For example I always move the locate script from weekly to daily. I don't want mergemater to stop to tell me the file is missing. So this file would be ignored. The other case is files which one want copied without questions. All the files in /etc/defaults I never touch so I would prefer them to be merged without questions. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
