etcupdate

This command will update the contents of /etc inside a jail. It should be run after a jail upgrade

First we need to bootstrap a release for etcupdate to use.

ishmael ~ # bastille etcupdate bootstrap 14.1-RELEASE
bastille_bootstrap_archives: base -> src
/usr/local/bastille/cache/14.1-RELEASE/MANIFES        1046  B 1134 kBps    00s
/usr/local/bastille/cache/14.1-RELEASE/src.txz         205 MB 2711 kBps 01m18s
bastille_bootstrap_archives: src -> base
Building tarball, please wait...
Etcupdate bootstrap complete: 14.1-RELEASE

Next we can use the update command to apply the update to the jail.

ishmael ~ # bastille etcupdate ishmael update 14.1-RELEASE

The output will show you which files were added, updated, changed, deleted, or have conflicts. To automatically resolve the conflicts, run the resolve command.

ishmael ~ # bastille etcupdate ishmael resolve

To show only the differences between the releases, use the diff command.

ishmael ~ # bastille etcupdate ishmael diff 14.1-RELEASE

ishmael ~ # bastille etcupdate help
