Hi Otto,
thanks for the quick reply.
Yes - your assumption is correct, I run 5.6-current. Nevertheless:
What
would the correct usage of sysmerge be as the online-version of
'man(8)
sysmerge' does not know about the options '-s' and '-x'?
Best,
STEFAN
Run it without arguments,
-Otto
Thanks - this is how I usually do it but got confused by the upgrade
guide. There haven't been any change-notices by sysmerge lately so I
thought I have done s.th. wrong.
I just noticed that the online-version of 'man(8) sysmerge' refers to
OpenBSD-current - guess this added to my confusion.
Sorry for the noise.
Cheers,
STEFAN
