What me bugs most is that if you do make installworld, freebsd-update
still wants to update everything.
Oh, why does it do that? freebsd-update maintains a separate database or
something of what's to be updated and not?
Yup, probably.
Also (I think) there's no synchronisation between freebsd-update and
options you set in /etc/make.conf (again, I'm not sure about this, but I
do not want to try).
For instance: in my make.conf is "NO_BIND=true", because I upgraded to
bind 9 long time ago and update it from ISC source. The latest patches
however wanted to overwrite my named.
Enough wining however: freebsd rocks :-)
Touche! FreeBSD rocks! :)
freebsd-update does binary updates. I guess that's why it doesn't honour
the options in make.conf?
But what you say is a point nevertheless. If I were to use the newer
version of BIND from ports (for instance), then freebsd-update would end
up replacing it ... hmm, not nice. Maybe there's some way to ignore
certain stuff through freebsd-update.conf(5)? The "IgnorePaths" setting
seems an option where one can set paths to be ignore ... I suppose that
can be used in such a situation? (Any examples anyone?)
