This revealed me that the ``distribution'' target in RELENG_6's src/etc/Makefile calls cap_mkdb(8) with either "-l" or "-L" flag, depending on endianess. Unfortunately RELENG_5's cap_mkdb(8) doesn't have this flag and this resulted. I understand that using RELENG_6 sources on RELENG_5 is something quite unusual but it's quite disconcerting and prevents me from using etcmerge. I would really like to avoid merging /etc manually since I have number of changes in my /etc and number of changes between 5's /etc and 6's one are both huge. Yes, I know mergemaster(8), that's what I call ``manually'' :-). Can this issue be resolved in a way or another ? I'm not sure using ${.OBJDIR}'s cap_mkdb(8) is an option. Thanks for your advices.
