I've just finally updated to 13-stable, and can't be the first to
notice this?!
/etc/rc.d/motd contains the line:
uname -v | sed -e 's,^\([^#]*\) #\(.*
[1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]\).*/\([^\]*\) $,\1 (\3) #\2,'
Note the space before the "$" - needed because the uname -v output
used
to have a trailing space. This was fixed and comitted on 2022/02/18:
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/usr.bin/uname/uname.c?id=7e05fa3b449007adaa6e588ebb3b8d76f30b355c
Since then, the sed doesn't match, so the uname(1) output is
unchanged.
There's no point altering the sed to work with both possibilities, so
can
someone commit the fix of removing the ' ' before the '$' in
/etc/rc.d/motd ?
Not that it helps you much, but I did notice it and have an alternate
version of rc.d/motd on my own systems. I had no particular attachment
to the earlier format, so my motd starts out by printing the two lines
of:
```
-KU 1302505 1302505 -b 18fa15f83c483db67b818e3a48bbb312908754b1
FreeBSD 13.2-STABLE (Garance-13x) #0 -- Fri May 5 17:53:55 EDT 2023
```
(that first line is the output from
```printf ' -KU %s -b %s\n' "$(uname -KU)" "$(uname -b)"```
)
But I thought that committing that would trigger a bikeshed debate, so I
also have an option to produce the output we previously had. And given
that no one seemed to be complaining about the "full uname" version, I
figured I had an option for that too. And then I thought all these
options
were overkill and would trigger and even longer debate, so I never
brought
the ideas forward. :)
