Hello, "15.6.1.4 Upgrading" in the FreeBSD manual provides a great step, by step way to safely update jails. I've just installed apache in the host system, and now I wish to propagate it to the system wide jail skeleton, and www jail. But given my limited experience with jails, I am perplexed to read in the 2nd last sentence of this section: "Do not forget to run mergemaster in each jail". The instruction doesn't say between which steps (which one between 1 through 6) to run mergemaster, and I'm left guessing as I'm still coming up to speed on jail configuration and maintenance. Carefully reading *15.6.1.2 "Creating the Template"* it says that mergemaster is run in: Step 4 - Use Mergemaster to install missing configuration files... This follows: Step 1 - Create a read-only directory structure for the read-only file system...(make installworld) Step 2 - Prepare FreeBSD ports collection for the jails... Step 3 - Create a skeleton for the read-write portion... However *15.6.1.4 Upgrading* shares only step 1 (make installworld), but steps 2 through 6 are quite different. I am left wondering between which steps in 15.6.1.4 Upgrading that I am to run mergemaster on each jail. I would be very happy to get a tip. Thank you, Matthew
