I finally taught myself how to use sdiff, so I don't have to manually
merge config files when updating to the latest sources.
But when I tried to use it from Mergemaster to do the following
function:
"e b: edit then use the left and right versions concatenated"
I get:
"%ex/vi: Vi's standard input and output must be a terminal
sdiff: Subsidiary editor failed"
This is on the console, running in single-user and syscons is set to
132x43 text mode. /usr is mounted. vi works fine by itself.
Mergemaster was invoked thusly:
mergemaster -v -C -w 132 2>&1 |tee -a <logfile>
TIA,
Phil
