I am confused about something.

I just did a cvsup to RELENG_4. But after building my kernel, it shows
4.8-RC, not 4.7-STABLE

Is there a reason for this?

Also, mergemaster completely obliterated my system. Had to copy everything
back from by backup.

Let me ask this. My feelings with mergemaster are as follows:

I rather install a completely new /etc, then go in and make changes to the
two or three files that I need to modify, usually just mail/, rc.conf, and
the passwd files.

I feel safer with this approach then merging files.

Is there a way to do this with mergemaster?


Thanks.

John
