Dear subscribers,
stable/12 hasn't been branched yet, so it could be not a bug. Since
r336525 make installworld fails on 11-stable when installing world for
12-current without ntpd user/group added. Of course, as a workaround
user and group could be added manually. Mergemeaster also fails when it
is run before installworld, what is IMHO predictable and expected
behaviour. So mergemaster will not help with this issue.
So the question arises, is it a feature or should a PR be submitted?
can you share how you are running mergemaster?
i recently upgraded a system from 11.2-RELEASE to 12-CURRENT without
issues. my steps are:
make buildkernel
make buildworld
make installkernel
mergemaster -m /path/to/current/checkout -p
make installworld
mergemaster -m /path/to/current/checkout -a
it is critical to run the mergemaster -p before installing the world.
this will prompt you to update your /etc/password and /etc/group tables
to add the new ntp user/group. the same goes for using the mergemaster
-a switch after installing the world, as that will ensure that critical
configs for rc are updated correctly.
cheers,
-pete
