karels added a comment to D42762: periodic: Make daily diff(1) output as small is possible.

Looks like this changes behavior by adding -u to the last 3 daily scripts. But I'm not sure why this should be MFCed. Or you could omit daily_diff_flags from /etc/defaults/rc.conf and set defaults in the scripts that currently use -u if the variable hadn't been set.

karels accepted D42762: periodic: Make daily diff(1) output as small is possible.

Seems OK. I wouldn't object to -U 1 either, but for most of these things context is probably unimportant.

karels added a comment to D42721: ifconfig: add -D option to print driver name for interface.

With the input so far, my inclination is to stay with -D rather than printing the driver name (and unit) by default. I made one small change, which is to print the driver name with -v or -D, so -v is fully verbose.

  1. With -D only (as now)
  2. With -D or -v (so verbose is fully verbose)

Either one should be OK. I would treat -v as an option for debugging purpose.

  1. With -v only (I'm not fond of this one)
  2. Anytime the driver name is different than the interface name (including the outliers Kristof mentioned)
  3. Always (I considered this. and hopefully scripts wouldn't break. but ...)

I'd prefer Always. Just keep it simple. Do not be too smart.

General questions:

  • what's the chance to get this folded into -a/-v?
  • what's the chance to get this MFC'd to 14/13/12?

At the very least epair and if_ovpn deviate from this pattern, and I suspect there are more exceptions. stf does too, I believe, and tun/tap might as well.
I can see this might be useful sometimes, but I'd object to advertising it as something it is emphatically not (that is: the original interface name).

And that is one more time a thing I did not understand 20 years ago and now. We added if_xname and split things out but with renaming we should have kept an if_oname (original name).
That said ifconfig_get_orig_name is really a misleading name that probably still comes out of the 20 year old confusion. Maybe we should fix the underlying issue once and for all as well?

One other thing I noticed, "Sponsored by" lines are rendered as regular text; in some previous release notes they used the {{< sponsored "Sponsor" >}} macro. It renders these lines differently, giving a visual hint which IMO makes the information on this page easier to parse.
