How to configure mergemaster to merge configurations on FreeBSD

Posted by mariusvw

Ignore files for upgrade, for example you could add /etc/motd here.

Simply edit the file /etc/mergemaster.rc and add the following line:

IGNORE_FILES='/etc/motd'

Another example:

# Automatically install files that do not exist on the system already
AUTO_INSTALL=yes
 
# Automatically upgrade files that have not been user modified
AUTO_UPGRADE=yes
 
# Preserve files that you replace
PRESERVE_FILES=yes
PRESERVE_FILES_DIR=/var/tmp/mergemaster/preserved-files-`date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`
 
# Files to always avoid comparing (space separated)
IGNORE_FILES='/etc/motd /etc/rc.conf'
