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 --=20 Peter Jeremy 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. --z9sQuz+HmDh2hVO4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHUHjB/opHv/APuIcRAs1VAJ4qYS++8j6UZ/CaJ0B1w3zMQdoqXwCfeDOn JzhLrSDonXcS3//QqWSgJe8= =YTUI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --z9sQuz+HmDh2hVO4--
