similar to: 9.1-stable mergemaster -D fails

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

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

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. ***

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

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

hi to all FreeBSD user. i have a problem about updating from 4.8-RELEASED to 4.8-STABLE, here's exactly what i did: first: cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile, where my stable-supfile is located at /root. 2nd: cd /usr/src; make buildworld; make buildkernel KERNCONF=BUFDAEMON; make installkernel KERNCONF=BUFDAEMON 3rd: reboot; mergemaster -p; make installworld; mergemaster; reboot. after

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

Before reading below: I am considering a new install rather than an upgrade of our servers. However, now I just want to beat this problem. :) At 02:19 PM 7/8/2003 +0000, Phil Pennock wrote: >On 2003-07-08 at 14:09 +0000, Phil Pennock wrote: > > There was a fairly major update to the IDE disk device handlers which > > required new device nodes.

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.

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

I''ve hit this bug on my home machine couple of times and finally decided to log it since I''ve spend 2 days configuring my "OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv_101b_rc2 X86" and after installing the SUNWsmbfskr package I ended up in the grub> menu. The package contains a necessary module for CIFS. After pkg install SUNWsmbfskr, I rebooted the box. There was no grub menu anymore

Apparently I should of posted this here instead of in -questions, so here goes:- Hi I cvsup'ed the latest source on Saturday night at 9pm as I do every night onto my dev box this was then extracted in to my source tree and a new world built and new kernels for all my systems. On Sunday I performed a "make installkernel" followed by a "make installworld" and finally a

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

Hello, I had snv_111b running for a while on a HP DL160G5. With two 16GB USB sticks comprising the mirrored rpool for boot. And four 1TB drives comprising another pool, pool1, for data. So that''s been working just fine for a few months. Yesterday I get it into my mind to upgrade the OS to latest, then was snv_127. That worked, and all was well. Also did an upgrade to the

Hello, I've sent a similar query before, but didn't receive any answers.

I'm cvsupping 4.8-STABLE to 4.8-STABLE. The cvsup run finished about 23:32 on 7/13.
