Re: etcupdate warning: "No previous tree to compare against, a sane comparison is not possible."
Hello Jonh! I did it and it worked fine: etcupdate extract etcupdate diff > /tmp/etc.diff cd / patch -R < /tmp/etc.diff Patch can't find diff paths so I run it inside /etc /etc/defalts ... until all diff is applied. Now when I run 'etcupdate' I don't get any warning and 'etcupdate diff' doesn't show diffs. Hope that warning is solved when next update comes. Thanks, Nuno Teixeira

Yes, this means etcupdate is not merging any changes to /etc. You should run 'etcupdate extract' before your next upgrade cycle. You should then review the output of 'etcupdate diff' to see if there are files in /etc that need updating. If there are files that you want to update to stock versions you can use 'etcupdate revert /path/to/file'. Otherwise, you can use the patch generated by 'etcupdate diff' either as a guide to manually update files to remove unwanted differences, or as input to patch -R. -- John Baldwin
