I have a mergemaster question. I assume this is my error but do not see what I
did. I am testing remote update procedures so I started with a 7.0 IS0 and
updated it to 7.4.
My mergemaster.rc has the following directives:
FREEBSD_ID=yes
AUTO_UPGRADE=yes
AUTO_INSTALL=yes
DELETE_STALE_RC_FILES=yes
COMP_CONFS=yes
plus some diff options. As this was a system with nothing changed except for
group, passwd, and csh.cshrc, I expected mergemaster to update all the other
files. I think from the code the value does not matter for the first three so
yes would be ok (if I am correct).
As this did not work (as I expected), I retried with mergemaster -rFUi getting
the same result. What did I do wrong?
