Hi,

On an 8.2 box, I run

freebsd-update -r 8.3-RELEASE upgrade

I am getting hundreds of files with "conflicts" like:

<<<<<<< current version
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/auth.conf,v 1.6.32.1.4.1 2010/06/14 02:09:06 =
kensmith Exp $
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/auth.conf,v 1.6.32.1.8.1 2012/03/03 06:15:13 =
kensmith Exp $
>>>>>>> 8.3-RELEASE

... which is just tremendously unhelpful. I'm using the default =
freebsd-update configuration. Per an old mail from the archives I made =
sure I have /etc/mergemaster.rc setup as below, but it doesn't seem to =
make a difference.

Any ideas?  In the past I've just given up on using freebsd-update and =
gone back to manually compiling and installing world, but for this box =
I'd really like not to.


Ask

$ cat /etc/mergemaster.rc
# Automatically install files that do not exist
AUTO_INSTALL=3D'yes'
# Automatically upgrade files that have not been edited
AUTO_UPGRADE=3D'yes'
# Ignore files that I don't want changed
IGNORE_FILES=3D'/etc/motd'
# Do not display changes that only affect whitespace
DIFF_FLAG=3D"'.Bub'"
# Ignore CVS id lines to stop replacing files where only that line has =
changed
DIFF_OPTIONS=3D'-I$FreeBSD:.*[$]'=
