I think things'll > go right :) Yes, mergemaster has '/usr/src/etc' hardcoded into the script. Since it's a bourne shell script you could change that path if you want to, but the preferred solution is to make your source directory /usr/src. I suppose I could add an option to specify the source directory, but I've never had a request to do that. Anyone else think that this would be worthwhile? It wouldn't be hard to do at all. Meanwhile, you should definitely read the man page for mergemaster. It explains in more detail how the program works. Also, my direct e-mail address for mailing bug reports is in the man page. Sad to say, I don't always have time to read every message on the freebsd lists, and although I try to scan for mergemaster related items I obviously missed yours.
