There is my situation:
I want to be able to use freebsd-update to update a FreeBSD 7.0-Release
installation to the latest security patches (I want an update and
not an
upgrade if I understand correctly). Where this gets more complicated
is that
I need a custom kernel (for ULE, pf and ALTQ while also disabling some
devices I'll never need) and I want to use jails to isolate every
services
(Apache and MySQL by now).
So, I read at some places that you can't use freebsd-update with a
custom
kernel, but I'm not sure if this apply only in the case of an upgrade
between release or if I'll need to manually recompile the kernel
with every
use of freebsd-update.
I also read that it's possible to update the jails from the host system
with the -b flag. In this case, I supposed that I need to update the
host
system before the jail, but is the procedure going to be exactly the
same?
yes all you need to do is freebsd-update fetch install your kernel
won't be
updated but your userland will
So it is right to say that the custom kernel "problem" applies only
when upgrading to a newer release?
All I have to do is 'freebsd-update fetch install' to update the base
system then 'freebsd-update -b /usr/jail/jail_name fetch install' to
update the jails?
I hope so because it would be very impressing :)

Another question just came to my head: May I update the src before
compiling my custom kernel or should I keep the original src that
shipped with the release to be able to use freebsd-update?
Thank you very much for your help!

I just tried it (freebsd-update fetch install) and after a reboot uname
-a still shows FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0 while freebsd-update told me I was
going to update to 7.0-RELEASE-p5. But, I noticed that the files that
needed to be updated were updated.
I'm a little confused...can someone explain this behaviour to me?
Thanks,
Martin
