Kanter" To: FreeBSD questions Subject: Mergemaster question Message-ID: <20000625090452.A375@localhost.localdomain> Mail-Followup-To: FreeBSD questions Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2i X-Organization: Northwestern University X-Operating-System: FreeBSD localhost.localdomain 3.5-STABLE FreeBSD 3.5-STABLE Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I just went from 3.4 to 3.5 and used mergemaster for the first time. I was a little confused and overwhelmed, but this is how I handled it and would like others to let me know what they think: All the files that I had made changes to personally, like personalizing my sendmail.cf, named.conf, and inetd.conf files, I left alone. But the other "standard" files that are a part of a basic FreeBSD install I let mergemaster overwrite. For instance, MAKEDEV, /etc/fbtab, /etc.rc, named.root, and such. Does this sound reasonable? -- David Kanter djkanter@nwu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
