Dear Enji, to satisfy your curiosity: Yes, I have tried etcupdate(8) a few times over years. It works fine, but I don't like the idea of editing conflicted files. I won't complain about etcupdate(8), but please leave mergemaster(8) as is. I believe we need both: solid, fast black boxes driven it auto mode and fragile tools in the base. mergemaser is rather not a potential security hole in the system. With kind regards, -- Marek Zarychta
