However, a freebsd-update from a straight binary installed 8.1-RELEASE gives me a dialogue to merge a lot of files in /etc/ with just the $Id$ tag being different. That is, I get: The following changes, which occurred between FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE and FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE have been merged into /etc/manpath.config: --- current version +++ new version @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ -# $FreeBSD: src/gnu/usr.bin/man/manpath/manpath.config,v 1.26.2.1.4.1 2010/06/14 02:09:06 kensmith Exp $ +# $FreeBSD: src/gnu/usr.bin/man/manpath/manpath.config,v 1.26.2.1.6.1 2010/12/21 17:09:25 kensmith Exp $ # # This file is read by manpath(1) to configure the mandatory manpath, # optional manpath and to map each path element to a manpath element. # The format is: # Does this look reasonable (y/n)? I'm afraid this will go on for all files in /etc. What just happened? How can I avoid it? I had this problem before and then in my frustration just commented out this line in freebsd-update.conf: #MergeChanges /etc/ /var/named/etc/ /boot/device.hints I got lucky that time, but is this really safe? What if, say, a new daemon has been installed in the upgrade and needs a new user. Any suggestions? -- http://hack.org/mc/ Use plain text e-mail, please. OpenPGP welcome, 0xE4C92FA5.
Le Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:26:23 -0500, Ken Smith <kensmith@buffalo.edu> a ?crit : Hello,> 8.2-RELEASE and 7.4-RELEASE have been announced. The announcement > messages are available here: > > http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.2R/announce.htmlThere is a small typo in the name of the usb image: ? memstick This can be written to an USB memory stick (flash drive) and used to do an install on machines capable of booting off USB drives. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue mode. The documentation packages are provided but no other packages. ... # dd if=8.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 conv=sync ? should be "FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img"> Enjoy. :-)Thanks!
