Within a NanoBSD automated installation of jails following the (outdated)
instructions and templates given in chapter 14 of the handbook, I run into
trouble installing the skeleton config files via "mergemaster". mergemaster
always stops at this point:
[...]
*** There is no installed version of ./.cshrc
*** Historically BSD derived systems have had a
hard link from /.cshrc and /.profile to
their namesakes in /root. Please indicate
your preference below for bringing your
installed files up to date.
Use 'd' to delete the temporary ./.cshrc
Use 'l' to delete the
existing /pool/nanobsd/amd64/ALERICH_amd64/_.w/jails/skel/root/.cshrc and
create the link
Default is to leave the temporary file to deal with by hand
How should I handle ./.cshrc? [Leave it to install later]
[...]
This si really frustrating, since I do not know how to prevent this. using
option "-a" with mergemaster leaves me with uninstalled files in temproot.
How can I force mergemaster to receive "d" for deletion?
Kind regards,
Oliver
