I have seen some bad behavior in the past from etcupdate, when you interrupted it (with control-C) at the 'wrong' time. In that case, it would have built up a bad tree in /var/db/etcupdate, and as a result *delete* almost all files in /etc! However, this problem has been solved, as far as I know, and the effect was definitely not zero-sized files, but really deleted ones. If you have a good way of reproducing it, I think the etcupdate maintainers will be interested enough, moreover since mergemaster is going to go away. -Dimitry [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.2 iF0EARECAB0WIQR6tGLSzjX8bUI5T82wXqMKLiCWowUCZEvHRQAKCRCwXqMKLiCW o8k5AKCoBuTntUrCkK+apzrJHoHmnkvwAQCg6X2fFM9edMtQ4v8zrVnVMfCbkPs= =ivE7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
