>Release:        FreeBSD 5.0-STABLE i386
>Organization:
>Environment:

5.0-CURRENT as of recent sendmail update, upgrading from a prior
5.0-CURRENT.

>Description:

Several files have moved from /etc to /etc/mail, including aliases.
Mergemaster often assists with magic involving file upgrades, but
simply installs a new, empty default aliases in /etc/mail/aliases,
and leaves the current as is.  A nice feature would be if mergemaster
would observe the presence of an /etc/aliases, no /etc/mail/aliases,
offer to move the file, then create the symlink from /etc/aliases to
/etc/mail/aliases.  Creating and maintaining that symlink should
be similar to the maintaining of /root/.cshrc and /.cshrc, where
there is already precedent for mergemaster groking some of our specific
layout.  I believe /etc/sendmail.cw is now expected to be in the
new location.

>How-To-Repeat:

Upgrade.  mergemaster.

>Fix:

Not available.
