Event Timeline

I'm not very familiar with etcupdate internals but this seems reasonable to me. OTOH I don't know what clutter the comment is referring to.

It'd be nice to add a regression test for this.

usr.sbin/etcupdate/etcupdate.sh
250

Presumably this comment needs to be updated too?

Add regression test for installing empty files.

Verified with the change reverted and applied.

delphij added inline comments.
usr.sbin/etcupdate/etcupdate.sh
250

I think the comment is still true (we still ignore generated files, and comment didn't explicitly say empty files)...

Seems ok to me. You might give a few days for other reviewers to chime in.

This revision was automatically updated to reflect the committed changes.
delphij marked an inline comment as done.

It used to be that make distribution generated a lot of empty files and they would indeed clutter the output of etcupdate diff. Did you look at the output of etcupdate diff before and after this change? And/or did you see if there are empty files in /var/db/etcupdate/current?
