Hi there, various /etc/periodic scripts mail root diffs of a few config files etc. grep on my (quite fresh) STABLE box shows that except for /etc/periodic/daily/210.backup-aliases, all the diff invocations use the old format. I have two issues with this: first, all the diffs should be in the same format, and second, root should be able to select their preferred format in /etc/periodic.conf (yes, i have difficulty reading anything but unified diffs). Now, before I start working on a patch, would such a change be actually welcome, or am I going to get shot down? And, what would the preferred interface be? Most of periodic.conf knobs are bools, but I'm not sure diff_{context,traditional,unified}_format="{YES,NO}" is better than diff_format="{context,traditional,unified}" What do you think? -- begin 666 nonexistent.vbs FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE 9:57AM up 12:47, 8 users, load averages: 0.10, 0.08, 0.03 end To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
