and enforce this in the code. Apparently a lot of users mistakenly
combine -a with these flags and are then mystified that no changes
were made.
While I'm here, fix a trailing space in mergemaster.8
Update delete_temproot() to include the error message if it fails,
and clean up the places where it's called.
If there are no files left in temproot when the comparison is done
delete it without prompting. This should make "automated" runs of
mergemaster without -a a little easier.
Document the new behavior in the man page.
an "rc file only" option by design.
While I'm here, update the comments in the example rc file to indicate
which command line options they relate to, and correct the defaults
for a couple of options.
1. Don't prompt the user for "-U but no db" error if we're using -a
2. Add an option to delete stale rc.d files automatically if the user
has DELETE_STALE_RC_FILES in their rc file. Lack of command line option
for this is not an oversight.
3. Add []'s around the terminal $ for the $FreeBSD$ test for -F
For one bug raised by jhb I did a more thorough solution:
There were a lot of things that "snuck in" between the end of the test
for -r and the start of the comparison. One of them is the creation of
the mtree db, as pointed out by jhb. Fix this problem more thoroughly
by moving the end of the test down to where it should/used to be, right
before the comparison. As a result, indent the interloping code to match.
and /.profile. The problem is that install(1) will unlink the old file
before it installs the new one, which means that in the best case we
have to compare the changes for the old file twice.
So, change the logic to first test to see if the link exists, then
install the file. Then if the link was there and we're using -i, just
create the link in /root and be done with it. Otherwise display the
message to the user and give them the option.
Because we are now sorting things before doing the comparison we can
know conclusively that the files in / should be the sources, and the
files in /root will be the targets, so adjust the paths accordingly.
While I'm here, split a too-long error message into two lines and
just return at the end of handling these files instead of setting
the variable that says "do nothing" and then returning at the end
of the function anyway.
to something else. So add code to detect when things don't match and
give the user choices about how to fix it.
If we're using -P and something in the above check needs to be moved
we need to have the directory there for it, so create it at the
beginning and delete empty versions of it at the end.
The case where something used to be a file or link and now is supposed
to be a directory (e.g., /etc/security) is especially dangerous, so
make failure to install a necessary directory in $DESTDIR a fatal error.
not exist to let the user know that it will be created for the next run.
2. Delete more stuff we're not going to use from the temproot prior to
creating the mtree database to dramatically reduce its size (162K -> 37K).
3. We've been deleting the zero-size files from temproot for a long time
now, so remove the spurious "-size +0" from the find command in the
comparison loop, and remove what is now a really stale comment.
1. In several places make sure that the mtree database is not empty using
the -s argument to test instead of -f. (I thought I'd already changed this,
but obviously not.)
2. When deriving the list of changed files use a colon-delimited list.
3. If the list of changed files is empty, unset the variable, and test
for a non-empty CHANGED in diff_loop() before entering that routine.
Enhance the speed of the -U option by using an internal case statement
instead of echoing the variable to an external grep for every file.
Fix indentation on one line.
2. Sort the command line options to match how they are displayed
in usage()
3. Change references to cvs to the more generic "version control system"
and remove the .Xr for cvs
4. Consistently use ".Op Fl" to refer to command line options in the text.
5. Only use the apostrophe to indicate possession.
6. Add FREEBSD_ID (-F) to the list of variables in the example rc,
and change the DIFF_OPTIONS example to -Bb since -F now covers it.
1. The new mtree file should be created in the "host" system /tmp
2. The existing mtree file in the "host" system should not be deleted

====================
1. List the command line options in a more standard way
2. Improve the explanations of some of the arguments (-A, -D)
3. Add ARCHSTRING and MTREEDB to the example rc file
4. Re-sort some of the examples according to the existing distinction
of "has a command line version" vs. "does not have a command line version"

=======================
1. Various improvements to the mtree (-U) feature:
a. Seperate the notion of directory and file (user can override db path)
b. Only check for the existence of the mtree file if -U is set
c. Use mktemp to create the new version of the file
d. More safely install the new file
e. Standardize error messages a bit
2. Remove the last of the MAKEDEV stuff (RIP)
New Features
============
1. Switch to using the top level (e.g., /usr/src) Makefile, and specify
that we should use the *.mk files from the source directory instead of
the installed versions. [1][2] This allows easier cross builds and
simplifies (or in some cases permits) upgrading.
2. Check for the deprecated 'nodev' option in /etc/fstab [3]
3. Add support for the IGNORE_FILES variable [4] and deprecate IGNORE_MOTD
accordingly.
4. Before installing a file check to make sure that the target does not
already exist as a directory [5]
5. Check to be sure that the file installed and error out if not

1. It was added without my consent, review, or even a heads up
2. It is something that I've repeatedly said I do not want, and certainly
do not want as the default
3. It is poorly implemented (much too complex, produces false positives
e.g., /etc/mail/helpfile)
Given that this is a situation that comes up very infrequently (usually
only for a major version upgrade) and can usually be handled simply
enough on a one-off basis, I will once again point out that I think
this is a Bad Idea. I would be willing to consider a better implementation
as an option that is off by default.

An mtree description of all non-zero files that make
distribution installs (only size and md5) is built from the
temproot. When the user completes a mergemaster run, the
mtree description file gets installed into /var/db for
safe-keeping.
When the user then decides to do a subsequent upgrade (with
the -U flag), the existing mtree description from /var/db
is called into service looking for files that are different in
DESTDIR. This is stashed away until a file that would normally
end up prompting the user to look at changes is encountered.
Since there are no user modified changes, the new file is
installed without bothering the user.
