Is anyone using mergemaster for groups of files that are not being
updated from /usr/src? I've been thinking of making a copy of
/usr/src/etc/Makefile and then modifying it so that I can run mergemaster
like this:
-------------------------- script --------------------------------------
MYTMP="/var/tmp/twiki_upgrade"
MYSRC="/var/tmp/new_twiki_src"
MYDST="/usr/local/www/twiki"
mergemaster -t $MYTMP -m $MYSRC -D $MYDST
------------------------ end script ------------------------------------
The first problem I ran into was:
-------------------------- Error --------------------------------------
make: don't know how to make distrib-dirs. Stop
make: don't know how to make distrib-dirs. Stop
*** FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'cd' to /var/tmp/new_twiki_src and install files to
the temproot environment
------------------------ end Error -----------------------------------
Has anyone had any luck with something like this? My approach will be
to write a Makefile in $MYSRC/etc/Makefile that will have targets:
$ grep -E '^[-a-zA-Z0-9_]+:' /usr/src/etc/Makefile
afterinstall:
distribute:
distribution:
distrib-dirs:
