I've been noticing this lately, but I don't know how long this has been going on. I've been trying to figure out how to get /etc/periodic/daily/100.clean-disks to work. I was getting ready to send in a problem report, but before I did I cvsupped to see if there was a newer version of the file which may have fixed my problem. Sure enough, the cvsup had a newer version of the file (minor revision changed from 1.3.2.1 to 1.3.2.2). I looked at the file, and didn't see any obvious changes, so I tried diff. The only difference in the file was the version number line. No whitespace, no variable names, nothing else, just the version number and date. The last couple of updates I have done, when using mergemaster to fix my /etc directory, I have noted a number of similar cases each time. Is there some reason for these version numbers to change even if the files haven't? That seems to only create extra work for admins doing updates. (Not to mention annoying them when they are running mergemaster. :-) ) --Kevin T. Likes p.s. If it makes a difference, I'm tracking RELENG_4.
