* MFC r288380:bdrewery2015-10-021-2/+14
| | | | | Document the post-merge actions of calling tzsetup(8) and services_mkdb(8) added in r259134.

| | | | | | | | | | Rework the EXAMPLES section to be a bit clearer. - Add an example of using etcupdate diff. - Create a subsection on bootstrapping that is below the simple examples. This should make it clearer that 'etcupdate extract' is a one-time operation and not part of the common workflow. It also adds more suggestions on when bootstrapping is needed and additional steps to make future merges simpler.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add an -s option to the regression tests that specifies a path to an alternate etcupdate.sh script to test. This allows a non-installed version of the script to be tested more easily. - Add a pre-world mode of updating similar to the -p option that can be passed to mergemaster. - Fix a couple of issues with -F: - Fix ALWAYS_INSTALL to take precedence over the FreeBSD ID checks. - Fix the -F option in the case that the only upstream change is a change in the FreeBSD ID and the local file is removed. - Refresh /etc/localtime after each update using tzsetup -r. - Regenerate /var/db/services.db when /etc/services changes.

* The etcupdate utility is a tool for managing updates to files that arejhb2012-07-131-0/+784
not updated as part of `make installworld' such as files in /etc. It manages updates by doing a three-way merge of changes made to these files against the local versions. It is also designed to minimize the amount of user intervention with the goal of simplifying upgrades for clusters of machines. The primary difference from mergemaster is that etcupdate requires less manual work. The primary difference from etcmerge is that etcupdate updates files in-place similar to mergemaster rather than building a separate /etc tree.
