Re: comment 9 > /usr/src/UPDATING More specifically: - <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/releng/14.3/UPDATING> - <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/releng/15.0/UPDATING> EN-25:18.freebsd-update is in the former. base 7f1785f09fb2 IMHO the simplest explanation of this bug report is that an outdated freebsd-update does not check for updates to itself. freebsd-update checks for updates to the base operating system of which it is a part, and there's a widely-communicated routine for major upgrades. Whilst freebsd-update(8) <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release> lacks a section for examples, it is quite commonly understood that release documentation should be a starting point. In this case: <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/> The first link in the announcement is to release notes, where <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/#upgrade> leads to: <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/installation/#upgrade-binary> HTH Graham -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
