    NAME

    
    
    mergemaster
    
     - merge configuration files, et al during an upgrade
    
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    [-scrvahipCPU ] [-m /path/to/sources ] [-t /path/to/temp/root ] [-d ] [-u N ] [-w N ] [-A architecture ] [-D /path ]  

    DESCRIPTION

    The utility is a Bourne shell script which is designed to aid you in updating the various configuration and other files associated with Fx . It is HIGHLY recommended that you back up your /etc directory before beginning this process.

    The script uses /usr/src/etc/Makefile to build a temporary root environment from / down, populating that environment with the various files. You can specify a different source directory with the [-m ] command line option, or specify the destination directory with the [-D ] option. It then compares each file in that environment to its installed counterpart. When the script finds a change in the new file, or there is no installed version of the new file it gives you four options to deal with it. You can install the new file as is, delete the new file, merge the old and new files (as appropriate) using sdiff(1) or leave the file in the temporary root environment to merge by hand later.

    By default it creates the temporary root in /var/tmp/temproot and compares the cvs(1) version $Id/$FreeBSD strings for files that have them, deleting the temporary file if the strings match. If there is no $Id string, or if the strings are different it compares the files themselves. You can also specify that the script ignore the $Id strings and compare every file.

    The merge menu option is designed to let you easily combine your customizations from the old version of a file into the new one. While you can use the merge function to incorporate changes from files that you have not customized, it is not recommended.

    The utility checks your umask and issues a warning for anything other than 022. While it is not mandatory to grant world read permissions for most configuration files, you may run into problems without them. If you choose a umask other than 022 and experience trouble later this could be the cause. /etc/master.passwd is treated as a special case. If you choose to install this file or a merged version of it the file permissions are always 600 (rw-------) for security reasons. After installing an updated version of this file you should probably run pwd_mkdb8 with the -p option to rebuild your password databases and recreate /etc/passwd

    The script uses the owner and group id's that the files are created with by /usr/src/etc/Makefile and file permissions as specified by the umask. Unified diffs are used by default to display any differences unless you choose context diffs.

    The utility will source scripts that you specify right before it starts the comparison, and after it is done running. The easiest way to handle this is to place the path to the script(s) in the appropriate variables in your .mergemasterrc file. The script sourced before comparison is named in MM_PRE_COMPARE_SCRIPT and the one sourced after the script is done is MM_EXIT_SCRIPT This is the recommended way to specify local modifications, or files that you want to give special handling to. This includes files that you want to be deleted without being compared. Because the named scripts are sourced from within , all of the script's variables are available for use in your custom script. You can also use /etc/mergemaster.rc which will be read before .mergemasterrc Options specified on the command line are updated last, and therefore can override both files.

    The options are as follows:

    -s
    Perform a strict comparison, diff'ing every pair of files. This comparison is performed line by line, without regard to CVS $Id's.
    -c
    Use context diffs instead of unified diffs.
    -r
    Re-run on a previously cleaned directory, skipping the creation of the temporary root environment. This option is compatible with all other options.
    -v
    Be more verbose about the process. You should probably use this option the first time you run . This option also gives you a list of files that exist only in the installed version of /etc
    -a
    Run automatically. This option will leave all the files that differ from the installed versions in the temporary directory to be dealt with by hand. If the temproot directory exists, it creates a new one in a previously non-existent directory. This option unsets the verbose flag, but is compatible with all other options. Setting -a makes -w superfluous.
    -h
    Display usage and help information.
    -i
    Automatically install any files that do not exist in the destination directory.
    -p
    Pre-buildworld mode. Compares only files known to be essential to the success of {build|install}world, including /etc/make.conf
    -C
    After a standard run, compares your rc.conf[.local] options to the defaults.
    -P
    Preserve files that you replace in /var/tmp/mergemaster/preserved-files-<date> or another directory you specify in your rc file.
    -m /path/to/sources
    Specify the path to the directory where you want to do the make(1). (In other words, where your sources are, but -s was already taken.)
    -t /path/to/temp/root
    Create the temporary root environment in /path/to/temp/root instead of the default /var/tmp/temproot
    -d
    Add the date and time to the name of the temporary root directory. If -t is specified, this option must follow it if you want the date added too.
    -u N
    Specify a numeric umask. The default is 022.
    -w N
    Supply an alternate screen width to the sdiff(1) command in numbers of columns. The default is 80.
    -A architecture
    Specify an alternative TARGET_ARCH architecture name.
    -D /path
    Specify the destination directory for the installed files.
    -U
    Attempt to auto upgrade files that have not been user modified.

     

    ENVIRONMENT

    The utility uses the PAGER environment variable if set. Otherwise it uses more(1). If PAGER specifies a program outside its limited PATH without specifying the full path, prompts you with options on how to proceed. The MM_PRE_COMPARE_SCRIPT and MM_EXIT_SCRIPT variables are used as described above. Other variables that are used by the script internally can be specified in .mergemasterrc as described in more detail below.  

    FILES

    /etc/mergemaster.rc
    $HOME/.mergemasterrc

    The utility will . (source) these files if they exist. Command line options will override rc file options. $HOME/.mergemasterrc overrides /etc/mergemaster.rc Here is an example with all values commented out:

    # These are options for mergemaster, with their default values listed
    # The following options have command line overrides
    #
    # Directory to install the temporary root environment into
    #TEMPROOT='/var/tmp/temproot'
    #
    # Strict comparison bypasses the CVS $Id tests and compares every file
    #STRICT=no
    #
    # Type of diff, such as unified, context, etc.
    #DIFF_FLAG='-u'
    #
    # Additional options for diff.  This will get unset when using -s.
    #DIFF_OPTIONS='-I$FreeBSD:.*[$]'        # Ignores CVS Id tags
    #
    # Verbose mode includes more details and additional checks
    #VERBOSE=
    #
    # Automatically install files that do not exist on the system already
    #AUTO_INSTALL=
    #
    # Compare /etc/rc.conf[.local] to /etc/defaults/rc.conf
    #COMP_CONFS=yes
    #
    # Preserve files that you replace
    #PRESERVE_FILES=yes
    #PRESERVE_FILES_DIR=/var/tmp/mergemaster/preserved-files-`date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`
    #
    # Sourcedir is the directory to do the 'make' in (where the new files are)
    #SOURCEDIR='/usr/src/etc'
    #
    # The umask for mergemaster to compare the default file's modes to
    #NEW_UMASK=022
    #
    # Specify the destination directory for the installed files
    #DESTDIR=
    #
    # The following options have no command line overrides
    # For those who just cannot stand including the full path to PAGER
    #DONT_CHECK_PAGER=
    #
    # If you set 'yes' above, make sure to include the PATH to your pager
    #PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
    #
    # Don't compare the old and new motd files
    #IGNORE_MOTD=yes
    #
    # Specify the path to scripts to run before the comparison starts,
    # and/or after the script has finished its work
    #MM_PRE_COMPARE_SCRIPT=
    #MM_EXIT_SCRIPT=
    
     

    EXIT STATUS

    Exit status is 0 on successful completion, or if the user bails out manually at some point during execution.

    Exit status is 1 if it fails for one of the following reasons:

    Invalid command line option

    Failure to create the temporary root environment

    Failure to populate the temporary root  

    EXAMPLES

    Typically all you will need to do is type at the prompt and the script will do all the work for you.

    To use context diff's and have explain more things as it goes along, use:

    # mergemaster -cv

    To specify that put the temporary root environment in /usr/tmp/root use:

    # mergemaster -t /usr/tmp/root

    To specify a 110 column screen with a strict comparison, use:

    # mergemaster -sw 110

    HISTORY

    The utility was first publicly available on one of my web pages in a much simpler form under the name comproot on 13 March 1998. The idea for creating the temporary root environment comes from Nik Clayton's make world tutorial which is referenced above.
