The etcupdate utility is a tool for managing updates to files that are
|
||
|
|
not updated as part of `make installworld' such as files in /etc. It
|
||
|
|
manages updates by doing a three-way merge of changes made to these files
|
||
|
|
against the local versions. It is also designed to minimize the amount
|
||
|
|
of user intervention with the goal of simplifying upgrades for clusters
|
||
|
|
of machines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The primary difference from mergemaster is that etcupdate requires less
|
||
|
|
manual work. The primary difference from etcmerge is that etcupdate
|
||
|
|
updates files in-place similar to mergemaster rather than building a
|
||
|
|
separate /etc tree.
