Hi Ashley, I guess this change is the cause: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D20173 It marks the group and the master.passwd file for inclusion in the FreebSD-runtime package. I tried this change on my 12 system, the files are included in the package. You also see them in the runtime.plist file, but as regular file, not marked as a config file, like the motd file for example. ... @(root,wheel,0644,) /etc/group @(root,wheel,0600,) /etc/master.passwd @config(root,wheel,0644,) /etc/motd ... i guess now the existing file is replaced by the new file, instead of beeing merged with it. i think, the tag "config" must be added to the above patch. But i am not sure, what the sytnax looks like for this. -- Martin > After building and installing -CURRENT r347469 using in-tree pkgbase, I > discovered that my /etc/group, /etc/passwd, /etc/master.passwd, > /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db had been overwritten. > > I encountered this after running 'make packages', installing into a > ZFS Boot Environment using bectl to create and mount a new BE, running > 'pkg -r $mounpoint upgrade -y' and 'pkg -r $mountpoint -yg "FreeBSD-*"' > to upgrade the packages and insure that new base packages got installed, > and finally unmounting and activating the BE. > > ~Ashley Chase > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-pkgbase@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-pkgbase[https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-pkgbase] > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-pkgbase-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
