Mergemaster often assists with magic involving file upgrades, but simply installs a new, empty default aliases in /etc/mail/aliases, and leaves the current as is. A nice feature would be if mergemaster would observe the presence of an /etc/aliases, no /etc/mail/aliases, offer to move the file, then create the symlink from /etc/aliases to /etc/mail/aliases. Creating and maintaining that symlink should be similar to the maintaining of /root/.cshrc and /.cshrc, where there is already precedent for mergemaster groking some of our specific layout. I believe /etc/sendmail.cw is now expected to be in the new location. >How-To-Repeat: Upgrade. mergemaster. >Fix: Not available. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
