today I ran into a problem that was my fault and involved careless use of mergemaster (ConnectionsPerPeriod is depricated, fwiw). I had cvsup'd a brand new box from 4.2-R to 4.2-S and a single file which i had NOT edited from the original version that installed with 4.2-R did not get replaced. I started thinking, I see this tag that is related to the CVS revisioning on each of the files: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/hosts,v 1.11.2.1 2000/08/18 18:29:19 ume Exp $ and i wondered: what if this tag were expanded to include a checksum of that file so that mergemaster could decide if the file had been edited and ifF not, it could (as an option) automagically replace. then again, maybe i'm being too lazy ... but if i'm going to wholesale update my bins, why not the same with confs? --gill -- This is my ~/.signature file. It is the digital equivalent of a bumpersticker. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
