Upgrading FreeBSD from 8.2 to 9.0
I have just finished upgraing one of my FreeBSD machines from 8.2 to 9.0, rebuilding from
source as explained in the FreeBSD handbook here.
One of the painful steps in upgrading a FreeBSD machine, is the mergemaster step, as it
forces you to go through a whole bunch of files, just to accept CVS tag changes... or so
I thought !!! Turns out that there are optional flags to mergemaster, and running
"mergemaster -FiU" does pretty much what I've been hoping mergemaster to do. Yay!
