Hi everyone!
I just upgraded a 7.2-REL to 8.0RC1 using freebsd-update. The upgrade
went fine on the base system following the procedure written in the
announcement email by Ken Smith. My problem is when I try to upgrade
my
jails, I get this message:
# freebsd-update -b /usr/jail/mysql/ fetch install
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 8.0-RC1 from update5.FreeBSD.org...
done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.
No updates needed to update system to 8.0-RC1-p0.
No updates are available to install.
Run '/usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch' first.
But, if I compare the dates of the files in the base system to the
files
in the jails, it's obvious that the jails are not up to date.
It seems like freebsd-update doesn't care about the basedir I
specified.
It does, but if you do a 'uname -a' - inside or outside the jail -
you'll see that it reports the OS revision of the host. So you should
have updated your jails first, then the host ...
One way to get around it is to replace /usr/bin/uname with a shell
script, which calls the original uname (which you have renamed) and
pipes through something like sed to replace the revision with what you
used to have:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/uname.org $* | sed s/"8.0-RC1-p0"/"7.2-RELEASE_p3"/g
And this is a seriously butt ugly hack.

Thanks a lot for your help,
