https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260253 Bug ID: 260253 Summary: handbook: 24.5.1 missing warning about migrating from mergemaster to etcupdate Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: yetoohappy@gmail.com Created attachment 229938 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=229938&action=edit Warn about mergemaster to etcupdate migration Currently the Quick Start guide to update from source (24.5.1) doesn't mention to bootstrap the etc database before updating sources and building new world and thus as a result may result in erroneous merges and conflicts. The mitigation is warned and explained in 24.5.6.1, but that is after much scrolling from quick start where the most damage could be done by an unassuming user. The attached patch corrects this by copying the warning in 24.5.6.1 to 24.5.1. This also addresses this complaint: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-current/2021-December/001108.html (a copy was cc'd to freebsd-doc as well). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
