> Or I don't need "etcupdate -p" ? In https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html <https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html> I don't see that "mergemaster -p" is needed and I don't remember where I found this command but I use it for a long time.


I found the "mergemaster -p" in an older doc version:

http://www.far-far-away.com/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html <http://www.far-far-away.com/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html>


mergemaster -p :

This does some initial configuration file updates in preparation for the new world. For instance it may add new user groups to the system, or new user names to the password database. This is often necessary when new groups or special system-user accounts have been added since the last update, so that the installworld step will be able to use the newly installed system user or system group names without problems.

But the latest doc version has no reference about "mergemaster -p".

So "mergemaster/etcupdate -p" is not needed if we use 12.2?
