Hey there folks,
In doing a bunch of updates on my 15 VM recently to get around some of the
recent breakages, I haven't been fully religious about running etcupdate every
time, and it's now complaining that I have some results from a prior merge.
The man page is *long*, and we have puppet manifests to alter the few things we
care about from a stock system (mostly some sshd stuff).
Is there a simple etcupdate command that says "I don't care about fancy 3-way merges
and diffs, please just blow my /etc back to stock and I'll correct it with puppet?"
etcupdate revert file
that seems to be for a single file:
" The revert mode is used to restore the stock versions of files. In this
mode, etcupdate installs the stock version of requested files. This mode
cannot be used to restore directories, only individual files.
"
is there a mechanism for *all* of /etc?
Never tried it, but you may be about to do
find /etc -type f | xargs etcupdate revert
