If it requires we setup a stupid kickstarter to fund a developer to sit down and rip into freebsd-update so it uses mergemaster I would be incredibly thankful. I don't know how anyone can upgrade between FreeBSD releases without an /etc/mergemaster.rc with the following settings: AUTO_INSTALL='yes' AUTO_UPGRADE='yes' # keep our custom motd IGNORE_FILES='/etc/motd' # Do not display changes that only affect whitespace DIFF_FLAG='-Bub' FREEBSD_ID='yes' DELETE_STALE_RC_FILES='yes'
