During a recent discussion regarding the benefits of various methods of updating the configuration and other files related to a system upgrade, the fact that many of those files don't have CVS $Id strings was mentioned. Subsequent to that discussion Brian Somers was kind enough to add those strings to most of those files. I volunteered to provide a list of the other files that don't have $Id's, so here 'tis. Having CVS $Id strings in these files is a valuable resource for several reasons. Most notably during an upgrade it's convenient to compare the $Id strings and ignore that file if they match. The files below are from the set generated by /usr/src/etc/Makefile. Of these, the two that you might not want to put $Id strings in are /etc/motd and /boot.help for aesthetic reasons. I don't see a problem with any of the other files. I could submit a patch including all of these, however it seems like overkill to me for just a few characters per file. :) Thanks, Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** "Yes, the president should resign. He has lied to the American people, time and time again, and betrayed their trust. He is no longer an effective leader. Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American people through an impeachment. He will serve absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term; the only possible solution is for the president to save some dignity and resign." - William Jefferson Clinton, 1974 /etc/gnats/freefall /etc/mail/Makefile /etc/namedb/named.root /etc/namedb/make-localhost /etc/uucp/call.sample /etc/uucp/config.sample /etc/uucp/dial.sample /etc/uucp/dialcode.sample /etc/uucp/passwd.sample /etc/uucp/port.sample /etc/uucp/sys1.sample /etc/uucp/sys2.sample /etc/amd.map /etc/group /etc/motd /etc/manpath.config /etc/mail.rc /etc/daily /etc/monthly /etc/master.passwd /etc/sendmail.cf /etc/passwd /root/.cshrc /root/.login /var/crash/minfree /boot.help /.cshrc /COPYRIGHT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
