Bug ID: 217602
Summary: It is desirable that dot files grow recursive
functionality in pw, bsdinstall, etc
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
As discussed on IRC with imp, Allan Jude, John Baldwin, and myself...
bsdconfig mirrors the actions of pw(8) with respect to skel (please see the
pw(8) manual with respect to skeleton files and the effect the `-m' parameter
has on copying of skel files).
At the very least, the suggested change here has to be accompanied by a
corresponding change to several other tools, including but not limited to
pw(8), adduser(8), and their respective manuals.
A patch that implements the bsdinstall part of the change can be found at
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/pull/98 and it still applies, included
inline for your convenience since it is so simple. Also noted in the code
review the -R -n should be -Rn (or maybe that was in the IRC conversation).
Since this isn't a code snippet ready to commit, redirecting to bugzilla per
project policy. This should be assigned to dteske@.
