mergemaster: handle symbolic links during update.

/etc/os-release is now a symbolic link to a generated file. Make
mergemaster cope with symbolic links generically. I'm no longer
a big mergemaster user, so this has only been lightly tested

mergemaster: Avoid "/var/tmp/temproot disappeared" if there is nothing to
compare.

Because of the change to find in SVN r253886, the entire temproot would be
deleted if it became empty, leading to a confusing message "*** FATAL ERROR:
The temproot directory ${TEMPROOT} has disappeared!"

Note that mergemaster does not do anything useful in this situation anyway
(e.g. put IGNORE_FILES="/etc/group /etc/master.passwd" in
/etc/mergemaster.rc and run mergemaster -p).

As noted in that commit, add -mindepth 1.

MFC r200416:
Simplify handling of MTREEFILE relative to DESTDIR

Make the message about a missing MTREEFILE combined with -U
more informative

MFC r200425:
Over time things that used to be files/directories/links can change
to something else. So add code to detect when things don't match and
give the user choices about how to fix it.

If we're using -P and something in the above check needs to be moved
we need to have the directory there for it, so create it at the
beginning and delete empty versions of it at the end.

The case where something used to be a file or link and now is supposed
to be a directory (e.g., /etc/security) is especially dangerous, so
make failure to install a necessary directory in $DESTDIR a fatal error.

MFC r200700:
In the places where find is used that the user may see the results,
first pipe it to sort so that order of processing will be deterministic
and like things will be grouped together.

MFC r200701:
Fix an indentation issue, no functional changes

MFC r200708:
Fix a problem with how mergemaster handles the hard links for /.cshrc
and /.profile. The problem is that install(1) will unlink the old file
before it installs the new one, which means that in the best case we
have to compare the changes for the old file twice.

So, change the logic to first test to see if the link exists, then
install the file. Then if the link was there and we're using -i, just
create the link in /root and be done with it. Otherwise display the
message to the user and give them the option.

Because we are now sorting things before doing the comparison we can
know conclusively that the files in / should be the sources, and the
files in /root will be the targets, so adjust the paths accordingly.

While I'm here, split a too-long error message into two lines and
just return at the end of handling these files instead of setting
the variable that says "do nothing" and then returning at the end
of the function anyway.

MFC r201291:
Add some patches contributed by jhb:
1. Don't prompt the user for "-U but no db" error if we're using -a
2. Add an option to delete stale rc.d files automatically if the user
has DELETE_STALE_RC_FILES in their rc file. Lack of command line option
for this is not an oversight.
3. Add []'s around the terminal $ for the $FreeBSD$ test for -F

For one bug raised by jhb I did a more thorough solution:
There were a lot of things that "snuck in" between the end of the test
for -r and the start of the comparison. One of them is the creation of
the mtree db, as pointed out by jhb. Fix this problem more thoroughly
by moving the end of the test down to where it should/used to be, right
before the comparison. As a result, indent the interloping code to match.

MFC r201292:
Document the DELETE_STALE_RC_FILES option introduced in r201291. This is

2. Delete more stuff we're not going to use from the temproot prior to

3. We've been deleting the zero-size files from temproot for a long time

comparison loop, and remove what is now a really stale comment.


# 1b855ebe 16-May-2009 Doug Barton <dougb@FreeBSD.org>

Enhance the safety of the -U option:
1. In several places make sure that the mtree database is not empty using
the -s argument to test instead of -f. (I thought I'd already changed this,
but obviously not.)
2. When deriving the list of changed files use a colon-delimited list.
3. If the list of changed files is empty, unset the variable, and test
for a non-empty CHANGED in diff_loop() before entering that routine.

Enhance the speed of the -U option by using an internal case statement
instead of echoing the variable to an external grep for every file.

Maintenance and updates
=======================
1. Various improvements to the mtree (-U) feature:
a. Seperate the notion of directory and file (user can override db path)
b. Only check for the existence of the mtree file if -U is set
c. Use mktemp to create the new version of the file
d. More safely install the new file
e. Standardize error messages a bit
2. Remove the last of the MAKEDEV stuff (RIP)

New Features
============
1. Switch to using the top level (e.g., /usr/src) Makefile, and specify
that we should use the *.mk files from the source directory instead of
the installed versions. [1][2] This allows easier cross builds and
simplifies (or in some cases permits) upgrading.
2. Check for the deprecated 'nodev' option in /etc/fstab [3]
3. Add support for the IGNORE_FILES variable [4] and deprecate IGNORE_MOTD
accordingly.
4. Before installing a file check to make sure that the target does not
already exist as a directory [5]
5. Check to be sure that the file installed and error out if not

# 3c501d0f 01-Jan-2009 Doug Barton <dougb@FreeBSD.org>

Revert 184781, 184804, and 184832 (automatic installation of files
that differ only by VCS Id) for the following reasons:
1. It was added without my consent, review, or even a heads up
2. It is something that I've repeatedly said I do not want, and certainly
do not want as the default
3. It is poorly implemented (much too complex, produces false positives
e.g., /etc/mail/helpfile)

Given that this is a situation that comes up very infrequently (usually
only for a major version upgrade) and can usually be handled simply
enough on a one-off basis, I will once again point out that I think
this is a Bad Idea. I would be willing to consider a better implementation
as an option that is off by default.

# 2e598474 26-May-2008 Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org>

Remove ISDN4BSD (I4B) from HEAD as it is not MPSAFE and
parts relied on the now removed NET_NEEDS_GIANT.
Most of I4B has been disconnected from the build
since July 2007 in HEAD/RELENG_7.

This is what was removed:
- configuration in /etc/isdn
- examples
- man pages
- kernel configuration
- sys/i4b (drivers, layers, include files)
- user space tools
- i4b support from ppp
- further documentation

In the following scenario:
1. Start mergemaster
2. Interrupt it
3. < Somehow the temproot directory disappears >
4. mergemaster -r
Many bad things can happen, especially if the -i option is in use.

Therefore, add a check to make sure it still exists before we start
comparing files.

# 55a5ff01 29-Apr-2006 Gordon Tetlow <gordon@FreeBSD.org>

Add auto upgrade capability to mergemaster.

An mtree description of all non-zero files that make
distribution installs (only size and md5) is built from the
temproot. When the user completes a mergemaster run, the
mtree description file gets installed into /var/db for
safe-keeping.

When the user then decides to do a subsequent upgrade (with
the -U flag), the existing mtree description from /var/db
is called into service looking for files that are different in
DESTDIR. This is stashed away until a file that would normally
end up prompting the user to look at changes is encountered.
Since there are no user modified changes, the new file is
installed without bothering the user.

$LINES. Another helpful suggestion from Gary W. Swearingen, swear@blarg.net.

Work around the problem in RELENG_4 where the file doesn't actually
exist, and therefore mm_install is returning the "fail" value of
the test instead of the "success" value for install.

This change is a no-op on HEAD, but since the only harm on RELENG_4
ATM is a spurious warning it can follow the usual MFC practice.

Add the last of the compatibility mods from openbsd. Neatly, the

copy instead of move for install. Changing the order of the deletion
of the spurious password files doesn't affect FreeBSD functionality,
but it's done in such a way as not to matter.

Change NO_MAKEDEV to a finer granularity method:
NO_MAKEDEV_INSTALL and NO_MAKEDEV_RUN. The former implying the latter.
The names imply what they do. The last commit by DES based on a PR defeated
the original idea behind NO_MAKEDEV, which was not to run MAKEDEV, but to do
the installation of MAKEDEV. This should satisfy both parties on the MAKEDEV
challenge.
Reflect this in mergemaster, this might later on be decided to be set to
NO_MAKEDEV_INSTALL, for now I kept to the old behaviour.

many problems for people with local CVS/RCS tags in their stuff.
Attempt to make portability a little easier to maintain in spite of

* Reduce diffs to RELENG_4 by specifying a full path to sysctl
* Adjust a little whitespace
* Make the distrib-dirs/mtree on DESTDIR conditional on user
actually specifying a DESTDIR. This seemed like a safe
way to get the right directories and permissions in the
installed tree since 'make installworld' does the same
thing, but in practice too many people have custom hacks
that we should leave unmolested. Still need to find a way
to deal with 'install -d' and permissions on nonexistent
directories in the middle of the path, but this is at
least no worse that it was before.

# bc21bd54 01-Nov-2000 Doug Barton <dougb@FreeBSD.org>

Reorder one of the new features based on experience. Since the number
of files auto-installed during an upgrade from a really old system
can get quite long, and it's piped to the PAGER already, print
that first, then print any of the 4 two-line messages that might
apply.


# d5a5b144 30-Oct-2000 Doug Barton <dougb@FreeBSD.org>

Add several new features, reorder some code, and continue with the
process of making the script more cross platform friendly.

* Add -i option to automatically install files that do not exist
on the system already.
* Add the ability to specify DESTDIR.
* Allow the user to specify scripts to run right before the
comparison starts, and when mm is done. This will
allow the user to specify customized local behavior, and
implement features such as automatically deleting files.
* Document the above changes in the man page.
* Switch to using 'ident' for the CVS Id comparison, which
should help with portability, and makes it faster.
* Reorder, and in one case fix some code by doing things in
ways that make more sense.
* Check to see if the file exists on the system before doing
the comparisons. This saves CPU cycles, and streamlines
the auto-install process.

I used bits and pieces of suggestions and patches from various
people, ultimately too numerous to name. Which is not to say
that they were not both appreciated, and helpful in achieving
the ultimate result.

given invalid input.

of being inline using tabs instead of space indents.
