.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
is a tool to update the configuration and startup files in
|
||
|
|
.Pa /etc
|
||
|
|
(and some other directories like
|
||
|
|
.Pa /dev ,
|
||
|
|
.Pa /root
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Pa /var )
|
||
|
|
without the need of manually checking and modifying every file.
|
||
|
|
The user should run this script after performing an operating system
|
||
|
|
update (e.g. after running
|
||
|
|
.Pa make build
|
||
|
|
in
|
||
|
|
.Pa /usr/src
|
||
|
|
or after extracting the binary distribution files)
|
||
|
|
to use the latest configuration and startup files.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
If the user is updating from sources (which is the default mode),
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
will first create a copy of the new configuration and startup files
|
||
|
|
by running
|
||
|
|
.Pa make distribution
|
||
|
|
in
|
||
|
|
.Pa /usr/src/etc .
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
Instead of using sources, the user can also extract one or more binary
|
||
|
|
distribution sets and use those files to update the currently installed
|
||
|
|
files (see usage of the
|
||
|
|
.Fl b Ar srcdir
|
||
|
|
argument later in this manual page).
|
||
|
|
Files in
|
||
|
|
.Pa srcdir
|
||
|
|
will be removed by
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
when using the
|
||
|
|
.Fl b Ar srcdir
|
||
|
|
argument (as the
|
||
|
|
.Pa srcdir
|
||
|
|
directory is treated like
|
||
|
|
.Pa temproot ) .
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
compares the new files against the currently installed files.
|
||
|
|
The user is given the option of installing, merging or deleting each
|
||
|
|
modified or missing file.
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
also detects if the user installs certain special files and performs
|
||
|
|
corresponding tasks like remaking device nodes or rebuilding a database
|
||
|
|
from the
|
||
|
|
.Xr aliases 5
|
||
|
|
file.
|
||
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
||
|
|
.Bl -tag -width TEMPROOT
|
||
|
|
.It Ev TEMPROOT
|
||
|
|
The temporary files created from
|
||
|
|
.Pa /usr/src/etc
|
||
|
|
will be stored here. These files will then be compared
|
||
|
|
against the currently installed files in the
|
||
|
|
.Pa /etc
|
||
|
|
directory. By default this is
|
||
|
|
.Pa /tmp/temproot
|
||
|
|
but it can be changed either with the
|
||
|
|
.Fl t Ar temproot
|
||
|
|
argument or by defining the
|
||
|
|
.Ev TEMPROOT
|
||
|
|
variable.
|
||
|
|
.It Ev SRCDIR
|
||
|
|
The location of the
|
||
|
|
.Nx
|
||
|
|
sources files. By default this is
|
||
|
|
.Pa /usr/src/etc
|
||
|
|
but it can be changed either with the
|
||
|
|
.Fl s Ar srcdir
|
||
|
|
argument or by defining the
|
||
|
|
.Ev SRCDIR
|
||
|
|
variable.
|
||
|
|
.It Ev PAGER
|
||
|
|
The pager to use when displaying files. By default this is
|
||
|
|
.Xr more 1
|
||
|
|
but it can be changed either with the
|
||
|
|
.Fl p Ar pager
|
||
|
|
argument or by defining the
|
||
|
|
.Ev PAGER
|
||
|
|
variable.
|
||
|
|
.It Ev WIDTH
|
||
|
|
The screen width used during interactive merge. By default this is
|
||
|
|
80 but it can be changed either with the
|
||
|
|
.Fl w Ar width
|
||
|
|
argument or by defining the
|
||
|
|
.Ev WIDTH
|
||
|
|
variable.
|
||
|
|
This is useful for
|
||
|
|
.Xr xterm 1
|
||
|
|
users with wider shell windows.
|
||
|
|
.El
|
||
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
||
|
|
The environment variables can also be defined in the following configuration
|
||
|
|
files. The user's personal configuration file settings override the global
|
||
|
|
settings.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
/etc/etcupdate.conf
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
||
|
|
You have just upgraded your
|
||
|
|
.Nx
|
||
|
|
host from 1.6 to 1.6.1 and now it's time
|
||
|
|
to update the configuration files as well.
|
||
|
|
To update the configuration files from the sources (if you have the
|
||
|
|
.Pa /usr/src/etc
|
||
|
|
directory):
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Dl etcupdate
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The default location of the source files is
|
||
|
|
.Pa /usr/src/etc
|
||
|
|
but this may be overridden with the
|
||
|
|
.Fl s Ar srcdir
|
||
|
|
command line argument:
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Dl etcupdate -s /some/where/src/etc
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
To update the configuration files from binary distribution sets
|
||
|
|
do something like this:
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Dl mkdir /tmp/temproot
|
||
|
|
.Dl cd /tmp/temproot
|
||
|
|
.Dl tar xpzf /some/where/etc.tgz
|
||
|
|
.Dl etcupdate -b /tmp/temproot
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
To get a better idea what's going on, use the
|
||
|
|
.Fl v
|
||
|
|
flag:
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Dl etcupdate -v
|
||
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
command appeared in
|
||
|
|
.Nx 1.6 .
|
||
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
script was written by Martti Kuparinen <martti@netbsd.org> and
|
||
|
|
improved by several other
|
||
|
|
.Nx
|
||
|
|
users.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The idea for this script (including code fragments, variable names etc.)
|
||
|
|
came from the
|
||
|
|
.Fx
|
||
|
|
mergemaster (by Douglas Barton). Unlike the
|
||
|
|
.Fx
|
||
|
|
mergemaster, this does not use CVS version tags to compare if
|
||
|
|
the files need to be updated. Files are compared with
|
||
|
|
.Xr cmp 1
|
||
|
|
as this is more reliable and the only way if the version numbers are the
|
||
|
|
same even though the files are different.
