1. It recursivelly handles new (modified by user) files in /etc and ask user what to do. 2. It recursivelly handles file deletion from /etc and ask user what to do. 3. It keeps 'ignore' list for files that user decided to never add to /cfg I'm pretty sure that this script is a little bit better than http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=misc/145962 because it doesn't require to remember - which files was modified. It scans the whole /etc, and if it found new file - it ask user - what to do with it. User can: a) Add file to /cfg. b) Skip this file for current script run c) Add this file to ignore list (/cfg/.ignore) and skip this file for all script runs. One of the most annoying things I found in nanobsd administration is that user have to keep in mind ALL files he is going to add to /cfg. This script was used on about 10 nanobsd hosts for 1.5 years in production environment and is extremely helpfull. The chance that after adding some new configuration file to nanobsd user would forget to add it to /cfg was decreased drammatically. Please consider adding this to Files. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Patch attached with submission follows: #!/bin/sh # # Copyright (c) 2006 Mathieu Arnold # Copyright (c) 2010 Alex Bakhtin # All rights reserved. # # Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without # modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions # are met: # 1.
