Hi all,
I do not quite understand. Is the freebsd-update upgrade process completely
broken? Or is it some special mode? Or was it broken recently?
Because some time ago I have upgraded from 8.1 to 8.2 quite nicely, with
editor-based merging of config files, and was planning to upgrade to 8.4
soon (especially as 8.2 is already not compatible with some ports).
Best wishes
Eugene

Subject: Re: Should I be able to use mergemaster with freebsd-update?
I'm using freebsd-update to upgrade my system to the latest minor version
(from 8.3-RELEASE to 8.4-RELEASE).
I'm surprised that the merge handling system isn't more robust. When
upgrading
the old way, from source, I was used to using mergemaster to handle any
merges that couldn't be done automatically.
But when using freebsd-update, it seems that any failed merges require
that
you get dumped into an empty text editor for each file.
[...]
As I continue with this process, doing all the mergemaster tasks manually,
I'm
finding that the situation is even worse than I first realized.
