Hi Matthew,

thank you for looking into it. I do maintain most of my systems
entirely through freebsd-update, but with modified freebsd-update.conf
so that it does not fetch sources.

I have two systems which are redownloading /usr/share/man/whatis since
Sunday update to -p17. Would things be clearer if I ran
weekly/320.makewhatis and observed if that prevented re-downloads?

What would be long-term solution for this? I
guess /usr/share/man/whatis is compiled from src. As I have removed
'src' from freebsd-update.conf, and I have nothing under /usr/src,
should I add /usr/share/man/whatis to IgnorePaths? I see it is already
there for IDSIgnorePaths.

Regards,
