My recent upgrading experience led to the installkernel portion of 'make
kernel' failing on the lack of an auditdistd user, for which 'mergemaster
-p' was ample workaround. However, the instructions for "to rebuild
everything" in UPDATING still have 'mergemaster -p' before installworld
and after kernel/installkernel.
There is a bug here, but it could be either a documentation bug (fix
UPDATING) or a code bug (only check UID/GIDs before installworld and not
installkernel, which only ever uses root:wheel).
Unfortunately, testing code for the latter is somewhat time-consuming.
Pawel mentioned on #bsddev that he had an untested patch for the latter.
Is there interest in testing that and getting it in the tree? (Or would
people prefer to just change UPDATING?)
