One complication: to do a 3-way merge you have to have the common ancestor. To ensure the initial availability of such would require some infrastructure which AFAIK does not currently exist: * A standardized place to keep the original contents of /etc -- /origEtc or /etc-<versionId> anyone? * A way to ensure that installation populates that place with the needed redundant copy of the bits, either by including the additional instance within the distributions or by generating it in the course of installation. The former would likely be easier, if only because the latter would need to work for all installation methods. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
