Question... I do alot of stable upgrades and as a result I spend alot of time with mergemaster. My changes in etc are minimal, so I rather wipe out my existing /etc (except for machine specific files like fstab, and so on) and have mergemaster install everything from /usr/src/etc. This way I don't have to spend time going through all the diffs. I have found that there is no quick a...

...for the temporary root environment, /var/tmp/temproot, exists. This can be a security risk if untrusted users have access to the system. Use 'd' to delete the old /var/tmp/temproot and continue Use 't' to select a new temporary root directory Use 'e' to exit mergemaster Default is to use /var/tmp/temproot as is How should I deal with this? [Use the existing /var/tmp/temproot] ============================================== Should I "d" the old temproot or should I just hit "Enter"?

Hello -stable: I'm getting an error & stoppage from mergemaster in RELENG_4 (now 4.9-PRERELEASE), just updated a few minutes ago, vis: -------------------- cd /usr/src/etc/sendmail; make distribution install -o root -g wheel -m 644 /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc freebsd.cf /var/tmp/temproot/etc/mail install: freebsd.cf: No such file or directory *** Error...

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.

Hello peoples, mergemaster fails saying freebsd.cf does not exist when building temproot. Have I missed something here?

Yeah, I don't have luck with mergemaster, may be after another 100 times I run it I will educate myself to properly use it. So, would '-i' option help me to automate the process? Best Regards, Anton

running 9.1-STABLE r247548 updating to 9.1-STABLE r248381 When updating to the new version in a zfs beadm environment, mergemaster -D /mnt fails with install: illegal option -- l install (1) in the new version has an added -l switch which is used in bsd.own.mk which in turn is used by mergemaster. Making mergemaster use the new install(1) fixes the problem. John Theus TheUsGroup.com

I noticed that there were quite a few files with version ids of '$FreeBSD$' when I ran mergemaster after an install of 4.8R. This isn't right is it? What are the consequences of installing over your files with unexpanded version ids? I would like to build a release(make release) and want to know if I can continue or if this is going to be a problem for future upgrades/mergemaster ru...

...error using a custom kernel configuration known as WWW, but after getting this error I built a new kernel based on GENERIC: # cd /usr/src # make update # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot Per /usr/src/UPDATING there was a change in the ATA drive at 4.5-REL, but it mentioned running mergemaster to create the new devices, and according to /usr/src/Makefile I shouldn't do that until I get past the current stage (which is where I am stuck): (/usr/src/Makefile comments) 1. cd /usr/src 2. make buildworld 3. make buildkernel 4. make installkernel 5. reboot 6. mergemaster -p This machi...

Currently I have a 'master' STABLE box which nfs exports src and obj to all my STABLE 'clients' and a 'master' CURRENT box nfs exporting src and obj to my CURRENT 'clients'. Would it be possible to eliminate one of the 'master' boxes ? IE, could a STABLE box build and host CURRENT (via alternate src and obj) or could CURRENT box build and host STABLE (via

hi guys, i have version 4.8-STABLE running. i've just update my stable-supfile and building, recompiling my custom kernel, my question is: if im going to cvsup my stable-supfile again, and compile the customed kernel again, do i have to: make buildworld, make installworld, mergemaster again or just make buildkernel KERNCONF & make install KERNCONF? hoping for your reply guys, thanks.

I'm cvsupping 4.8-STABLE to 4.8-STABLE. The cvsup run finished about 23:32 on 7/13. After make buildworld, make buildkernel, mergemaster -p, make installworld, and mergemaster -v, I do (per mostgraveconcern, RIP): cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall make clean make all install The 'make all install' gives errors: In file included from keymap.c:40: keymap.h:4436: `keymap_be_iso' undeclared here (not in a function) keymap....

...recently upgraded from 6_rel to 7_rel. Now when I install world there is a problem booting. Here is what I do: cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=BLACK make installkernel KERNCONF=BLACK At this point I can reboot and all is good. After boot I install the new world: cd /usr/src mergemaster -p reboot into single user mode cd /usr/src make installworld mergemaster Now when I reboot there is a problem. I get an error that the system cannot boot. Part of it looks like this: Can't work out which disk we are booting from. Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaultin...

Well, 4 days after previous upgrade i cvs'ed RELENG_4 from local cvs tree (updated hourly), made buildworld buildkernel installkernel, rebooted into single user, made installworld and mergemaster.

Hello, I installed 4.8-RELEASE a few weeks ago, and since I let the effort sit stagnant for a while I decided to do the cvsup/buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld/mergemaster/MAKEDEV steps to get current.

Yes, I ran 'mergemaster -p' but found that it really only merged my passwd and group files with the new ones. Unless it did some other things behind the scenes then there is no fix here. >The issue...
