(So I've been told, I've never much used > mergemaster myself). I think there are some words about it at the very > bottom of UPDATING. so i was running the "pre-world" mergemaster, but i think what bit me was relying on the "-a" switch. after reading UPDATING as you suggested i re-ran mergemaster like so: "sudo mergemaster -m $CHECKOUT -rvF" which seems closer in-line with the documentation. i had a ton of stuff missing, which would explain some funky behaviour i've seen in regards to devd, so glad i sorted this out. as someone RW mentions later in this thread, it would be sweet if mergemaster could auto add users/groups. i missed this in the diff during my pre-installworld mergemaster run. easily fixed - but def something i'll have to keep my eye out for. cheers, -pete -- Pete Wright pete_at_nomadlogic.org _at_nomadlogicLAReceived on Sat Jul 21 2018 - 16:23:45 UTC
