freebsd-update provides a binary update mechanism. It doesn't do anything to update the source files; if you choose to rebuild from source, use cvsup/csup/svn; you will normally get a -STABLE system from the build cycle, and not a -RELEASE system, but that depends upon which branch you are tracking.
I guess I was lead to believe that it updated the source from this entry in the handbook: "The default is to update the source code, the entire base system, and the kernel." http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html I've also seem other references indicate that the source downloaded by freebsd-update could be patched and installed. Am I completely off? Thanks for helping clear this up... johnea _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
