Hello peoples, mergemaster fails saying freebsd.cf does not exist when building temproot. Have I missed something here? Thanks Michael Mercer cd /usr/src/etc/sendmail; make distribution install -C -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 code 71 Stop in /usr/src/etc/sendmail. ***

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 code 71 Stop in

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

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 and

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 $ ======= # $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

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There has been a lot of discussion on these two mailing lists about the upcoming EoL of FreeBSD 4.x which I mentioned in my email entitled "HEADS UP: FreeBSD 5.3, 5.4, 6.0 EoLs coming soon". Now that everybody (hopefully) has had their say, I'd like to offer some background and explanation. The concept of "security branches"

Greetings, After I updated my FreeBSD box from 4.7 to 4.8 I "lost" my users, but heck with users, what I mean by lost is that I can't login, when I try to login as the root or a regular user it says: pam_authanticate: permission denied so, I went ahead and re-updated my box from the very beginning, including unnecessary at this point cvsup. I used this command: make buildworld

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

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

I sent this to freebsd-questions earlier via the newsgroup, but I just found out today that the list-to-news gateway has been down for half a month now. Any idea when it's going back up? Who was hosting that service anyway? And now for the question.. I have a test server that is being used to test a 4.4-REL to 4.8-STABLE upgrade, and I've found the system will no longer boot unless I

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.

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. Mergemaster updated newsyslog.conf, syslogd.conf, ok, rebooted... Wow... All scripts from /usr/local/etc/rc.d refused to load. And the system is in "Amnesiac" mode Attempt to run

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'

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. Went fine, rebooted, then noticed that just one CPU was recognized: FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0: Thu Jun 19 17:05:20 PDT 2003

Hello, I have a problem with loader. I 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

I administer a remote server and want to apply some of the security patches. (I assume this is the best way to go since I can't go into single-user mode to use CVsup). I have a couple of questions. First, I have installed one of the pgp ports to verify the patches. When I run it, I get this message: > File 'buffer46.patch.asc' has signature, but with no text. > Text is
