It is appropriate everytime they are upgraded. If you don't follow the cvsup changes, than I would think that is everytime you do an installworld. Otherwise, you will have installed a module and haven't installed the configuration file that it needs. > > Is it appropriate to just run mergemaster by typing the command and letting > it run its course? Not unless you have configuration files you want to redo. For example, I have a rc.firewall that has additional stuff and if they update it, my rc firewall disappears. My root abbreviations also disappear along with my modified dot."files" that I have setup for typical new user additions.
