Hello to all,

I've just upgraded my system from 4.2R to 4-STABLE for the first time
without any errors.

The problem is the right use of mergemaster. I have see around this list
that some of you use other techniques of find diffs and install, merge or
do nothing about /etc files.

For the first time I use mergemaster and I do a lot of wrong things, and
the system stopted. But, I have a backup of /etc and now everything is
working even with the old /etc files.

What I like to know is what are the best way to use mergemaster (or other
thing else) without puting in risk some important files but be updated?

What I looking for is something like make buildworld, installworld,
buildkernel, installkernel, etc..., because them doens't ask anything
to the user but mergemaster do and if we do anything wrong, then the
system maybe stops.

Thanks very much. Now I am a STABLE guy!

Bye,
