This has been only lightly tested.

03766ceab0 Remove the ability to specify multiple colon-separated file names with
a single "-s" option.  Multiple "-s" options must now be used instead.
We have been printing a warning about this since 2008-09-14.

3c2b458230 In both postinstall and etcupdate, in modes where the -s argument
refers to tgz files or to a directory in which tgz files have already
been extracted, make it an error for the files that should have come
from etc.tgz to be missing.  This is intended to prevent users from
accidentally deleting necessary files when they run "postinstall -s
xetc.tgz fix".

Use the absence of .../etc/mtree/set.etc in the extracted directory
as a test for the error case.

bd0c152346 Remove options deprecated in NetBSD-4.0:
* Remove "-b binarydir" option (use "-s binarydir" instead).
* Remove "-s srcdir/etc" option (use "-s srcdir" instead).

Also document that "-s tgz1:tgz2" is merely deprecated, not removed
(use "-s tgz1 -s tgz2" instead).

fa60b97dcc Document the change in meaning of "-s foo:bar". It now means a single
file or directory nmed "foo:bar".  If you want the old meaning,
use "-s foo -s bar" instead.

46e1ba7e4e * Make etcupdate's -s option accept a colon-separated list of tgz
files.  (It was already possible to use several -s options.)
* Change man page to refer to "-s tgzdir" instead of "-s tempdir",
  to reduce confusion between tempdir and temproot.
* Always use a temproot directory, even if passed "-s tgzdir".
* Always invoke "postinstall check", even when not using a source dir.
* Add a BUGS section saying that using -s srcdir is not recommended.

Reviewed by lukem and martti.

ac583aa32a Xref etcupdate from postinstall, and vice versa. 2006-08-11 20:28:22 +00:00

7e321ef839 Give etcupdate the ability to use etc.tgz and xetc.tgz.
* Expand the "-s" flag to -s {srcdir|tgzfile|tempdir}.
* Deprecate the "-b" flag.  It is replaced by "-s tempdir".
* Change "-s srcdir" to refer to the top of the source tree (e.g.
  /usr/src) instead of the etc subdirectory.

In etcupdate's interactive phase, enhance the "s" command to be able
to invoke alternative diff commands.

Also some style changes.

a90c0085c1 Some Bl improvements; drop trailing whitespace; don't comma-separate
"a, and b"; mention arguments in option listing; list options in SYNOPSIS
in default order (those without arguments first).

fec4dbea24 Add a -l option telling etcupdate to skip any file who's RCS id has
not been changed.
(-l means "skip local modifications".)

of files that etcupdate will ignore; never considering them for updating.
