Bug ID: 204549
Summary: freebsd-update should fetch e.g. /etc/ntp.conf.default
Product: Base System
Version: 9.3-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: conf
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
If I modify /etc/ntp.conf to add say my ADSL router, freebsd-update will not
retrieve any new version. Instead, it should maintain say
/etc/ntp.conf.default, and let the user sort it out.
If I dare to modify a user-modifiable file:
aneurin# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 9.3-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.
The following files are affected by updates, but no changes have
been downloaded because the files have been modified locally:
/etc/ntp.conf
The following files will be removed as part of updating to 9.3-RELEASE-p30:
aneurin#
If I capitulate and put the original back:
aneurin# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 9.3-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.
The following files will be removed as part of updating to 9.3-RELEASE-p30:
aneurin#
I then have to restore my changes...
