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 ...
Ok but if I update in the process of upgrading the first jail, the new
kernel will be installed and asked to reboot. After that, I will have
the same problem when upgrading the other jails and the base system,
right? There must be something I don't understand well. Thanks a lot
for your answer.

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,
