I have the following in /etc/mergemaster.rc instead of having to remember the command line options each time: # Install the new file if it differs only by VCS Id (-F) FREEBSD_ID=yes # # Automatically upgrade files that have not been user modified (-U) AUTO_UPGRADE=yes # # Automatically install files not on the system already (-i) AUTO_INSTALL=yes # # Preserve files that you replace PRESERVE_FILES=yes # # Delete stale files in /etc/rc.d without prompting DELETE_STALE_RC_FILES=yes # # Compare /etc/rc.conf[.local] to /etc/defaults/rc.conf (-C) COMP_CONFS=yes # ###################################################### # The following options have no command line overrides ###################################################### # # Files to always avoid comparing IGNORE_FILES='/etc/motd /etc/printcap' # # Additional options for diff. This will get unset when using -s. DIFF_OPTIONS='-Bb' # Ignore changes in whitespace -- Mike Clarke _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
