|
|
.Nm

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a Bourne shell script which is designed to aid you
|
|
in updating the various configuration and other files
|
|
associated with FreeBSD.
|
|
It is
|
|
.Sy HIGHLY
|
|
recommended that you back up your
|
|
.Pa /etc
|
|
directory before beginning this process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The script uses
|
|
.Pa /usr/src/etc/Makefile
|
|
to build a temporary root environment from
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
down, populating that environment with the various
|
|
files. You can specify a different source directory
|
|
with the
|
|
.Op Fl m
|
|
command line option.
|
|
It then compares each file in that environment
|
|
to its installed counterpart. When the script finds a
|
|
change in the new file, or there is no installed
|
|
version of the new file it gives you four options to
|
|
deal with it. You can install the new file as is,
|
|
delete the new file, merge the old and new
|
|
files (as appropriate) using
|
|
.Xr sdiff 1
|
|
or leave the file in the temporary root environment to
|
|
merge by hand later.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default it creates the temporary root in
|
|
.Pa /var/tmp/temproot
|
|
and compares the
|
|
.Xr cvs 1
|
|
version $Id/$FreeBSD strings for files that have them, deleting
|
|
the temporary file if the strings match. If there is
|
|
no $Id string, or if the strings are different it
|
|
compares the files themselves. You can
|
|
also specify that the script ignore the $Id strings and
|
|
compare every file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
checks your umask and issues a warning for anything
|
|
other than 022. While it is not mandatory to grant
|
|
world read permissions for most configuration files, you
|
|
may run into problems without them. If you choose a
|
|
umask other than 022 and experience trouble later this
|
|
could be the cause.
|
|
.Pa /etc/master.passwd
|
|
is treated as a special case. If you choose to install
|
|
this file or a merged version of it the file permissions
|
|
are always 600 (rw-------) for security reasons. After
|
|
installing an updated version of this file you should
|
|
probably run
|
|
.Xr pwd_mkdb 8
|
|
with the -p option to rebuild your password databases
|
|
and recreate
|
|
.Pa /etc/passwd .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The script uses the owner and group id's
|
|
that the files are created with by
|
|
.Pa /usr/src/etc/Makefile ,
|
|
and file permissions as specified by the umask.
|
|
Unified diffs are used by default to display any
|
|
differences unless you choose context diffs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Perform a strict comparison, diff'ing every pair of files.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Use context diffs instead of unified diffs.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Re-run
|
|
.Nm
|
|
on a previously cleaned directory, skipping the creation of
|
|
the temporary root environment. This option is compatible
|
|
with all other options.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Be more verbose about the process. You should probably use
|
|
this option the first time you run
|
|
.Nm mergemaster .
|
|
This option also gives you a list of files that exist
|
|
only in the installed version of
|
|
.Pa /etc .
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Run automatically. This option will leave all the files that
|
|
differ from the installed versions in the temporary directory
|
|
to be dealt with by hand. If the
|
|
.Pa temproot
|
|
directory exists, it creates a new one in a previously
|
|
non-existent directory. This option unsets the verbose flag,
|
|
but is compatible with all other options. Setting -a makes
|
|
-w superfluous.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Display usage and help information.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar /path/to/sources
|
|
Specify the path to the directory where you want to do the
|
|
.Xr make 1 .
|
|
(In other words, where your sources are, but -s was already
|
|
taken.)
|
|
.It Fl t Ar /path/to/temp/root
|
|
Create the temporary root environment in
|
|
.Pa /path/to/temp/root
|
|
instead of the default
|
|
.Pa /var/tmp/temproot .
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Add the date and time to the name of the temporary
|
|
root directory. If -t is specified, this option must
|
|
follow it if you want the date added too.
|
|
.It Fl u Ar N
|
|
Specify a numeric umask. The default is 022.
|
|
.It Fl w Ar N
|
|
Supply an alternate screen width to the
|
|
.Xr sdiff 1
|
|
command in numbers of columns. The default is 80.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
script uses the
|
|
.Ev PAGER
|
|
environment variable if set. Otherwise it uses
|
|
.Xr more 1 .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ev PAGER
|
|
specifies a program outside
|
|
its
|
|
limited
|
|
.Ev PATH
|
|
without specifying the full path,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
prompts you with options on how to proceed.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Typically all you will need to do is type
|
|
.Nm
|
|
at the prompt and the script will do all the work for you.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To use context diff's and have
|
|
.Nm
|
|
explain more things as it goes along, use:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # mergemaster -cv
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To specify that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
put the temporary root environment in
|
|
.Pa /usr/tmp/root ,
|
|
use:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # mergemaster -t /usr/tmp/root
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To specify a 110 column screen with a strict
|
|
comparison, use:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl # mergemaster -sw 110
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width $HOME/.mergemasterrc -compact
|
|
.Pa $HOME/.mergemasterrc
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will . (source) this file if it exists. Command line options
|
|
will override rc file options. Here is an example
|

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
script was first publicly available on one of my
|
|
web pages in a much simpler form under the name
|
|
.Pa comproot
|
|
on 13 March 1998. The idea for creating the
|
|
temporary root environment comes from Nik Clayton's
|
|
make world tutorial which is referenced above.
