https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D206866 Bug ID: 206866 Summary: [handbook] Replace mergemaster(8) with newer etcupdate(8) utility for source upgrades Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: woodsb02@gmail.com The attached patch updates chapter 23 of the FreeBSD Handbook for "Updating= and Upgrading FreeBSD" to replace all references to the mergemaster(8) utility = with the newer etcupdate(8) utility when performing source upgrades. The benefit of the etcupdate(8) utility is that it provides 3-way merge functionality, meaning that the user does not need to review every differen= ce between the new configuration file from the source tree and that already installed on the running system if they can be automatically merged. This change was recommended by feld@ and des@ on Twitter. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
