1. Your SOURCEDIR is /usr/src/freebsd-current and not /usr/src. Unlike etcupdate mergemaster checks for Makefile1.inc in the working directory and asks to set SOURCEDIR accordingly: *** /usr/src was not found. Found Makefile.inc1 in the current directory. Would you like to set SOURCEDIR to /mnt2/src? [no and exit] Did you see this prompt? 2. Do you have (old) files (e.g. Makefile.inc1) or directories (e.g. etc) in /usr/src? Is this problem reproducible? Does it work if use -m switch, e.g: 'mergemaster -m .' or 'mergemaster -m /usr/src/freebsd-current'? -- Herbert _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
