https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283110 fullermd@over-yonder.net changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |fullermd@over-yonder.net --- Comment #5 from fullermd@over-yonder.net --- (In reply to wbe from comment #3) > Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but how is it that permissions are getting preserved by upgrade? /etc/freebsd-update.conf: --- # If the user has modified file ownership, permissions, or flags, should # FreeBSD Update retain this modified metadata when installing a new version # of that file? # KeepModifiedMetadata yes --- (in the 'defaults' section, so commented out means this _is_ the normal state) Somewhat misdescribed, since "user has modified" doesn't actually mean anything particular about _how_ they differ from the current presumed state, just _that_ it differs. In this case, because previous versions made them that way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
