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.
The kernel will be installed inside the jail, and the message about
rebooting can be safely ignored. Just run the install command once
more, and you're done and can move on to the next jail. :)

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,
