Hi.

I just used the new ‘sysupgrade’ to upgrade my little Alix boxes to 6.7.  It 
worked very well, and thank you for this upgrade simplification tool.

I do have one question.  After upgrading the first machine, when I ran syspatch 
to patch the system, I got a failure saying that the user _rpki_client didn’t 
exist.  My question is not about that, but I realized that the sysmerge script 
apparently did not finish successfully.  I ran it and merged the files and then 
was able to proceed normally.  On another box, this time I was watching for it 
(I have a little terminal server on the alix machines), and indeed:

---- /etc/mail/smtpd.conf unhandled, re-run sysmerge to merge the new version

My question is, is there a “standard” place/way to confirm that sysmerge 
finished successfully (other than looking at the console output on first boot)? 
 For some reason (I don’t know if I’m editing in a way that sysmerge doesn’t 
like to merge) this seems to happen a lot with unbound.conf, nsd.conf and 
smtpd.conf (for example), so I run into sysmerge conflicts often.
