Description Dmitry Marakasov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2013-12-25 13:40:00 UTC 
New mtree imported from NetBSD has -F flag which, being set to freebsd9, declares compatibility to old mtree.
This, however, is not fully preserved for at least verifying: while old mtree outputs

    filename extra

new mtree outputs

    extra: filename

regardless of -F setting

This affects at least tinderbox which incorrectly parses such output.

How-To-Repeat: % mtree -cn -k uid,gid,mode -p /tmp > /tmp/mtree.pristine
% touch /tmp/newfile
% mtree -f /tmp/mtree.pristine -p /tmp
extra: newfile
% mtree -F freebsd9 -f /tmp/mtree.pristine -p /tmp
extra: newfile
% fmtree -f /tmp/mtree.pristine -p /tmp
newfile extra
