Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
When using diff3 to perform a three-way merge, etcupdate lost the destination
file's metadata. The metadata from the temporary file were used instead.
This was unpleasant for rc.d scripts, which require execute permission.
Use "cat >" to overwrite the destination file's contents while preserving its
metadata.

During the last attempt to rmeove GNU rcs, 2 blockers were spotted:
We need an ident(1) and etcupdate(8) uses merge(1).
Now nothing should prevent to remove rcs from base

New .meta files will be created without filemon data, but any future build
that wants filemon data will force a rebuild due to the missing data
due to use of bmake's .MAKE.MODE=missing-filemon=yes feature.

- Fix ALWAYS_INSTALL to take precedence over the FreeBSD ID checks.
In particular, always install a file where the only change was
the FreeBSD ID even if -F is specified.
- Fix the -F option in the case that the only upstream change is a
change in the FreeBSD ID and the local file is removed.
- Add tests for these two cases.
passed to mergemaster. In this mode, only changes to /etc/master.passwd
and /etc/group are merged to /etc. In addition, it uses a temporary
tree to stage these changes rather than overwriting the existing
'current' and 'previous' trees so that a full update can be run after
a normal installworld has completed.

not updated as part of `make installworld' such as files in /etc. It
manages updates by doing a three-way merge of changes made to these files
against the local versions. It is also designed to minimize the amount
of user intervention with the goal of simplifying upgrades for clusters
of machines.
The primary difference from mergemaster is that etcupdate requires less
manual work. The primary difference from etcmerge is that etcupdate
updates files in-place similar to mergemaster rather than building a
separate /etc tree.
