I'm running 8.1-RELEASE now, but what about security issues found?
Which brach do I follow?
In this case, use "freebsd-update" to track -RELEASE; you will
get the security patches by binary updating, e. g. you can use
this tool to get from 8.1-RELEASE to 8.1-RELEASE-p1 without the
need to compile anything.
See "man freebsd-update" for details.
Thank you. I will follow RELEASE than. Also a thanks to Svein. ;-) Is
RELEASE automaticaly set in a fresh FreeBSD install or do I need to
change anything?
uname -raa
freebsd-update will update that version you have installed (so yes
RELEASE in a fresh install) only with security patches. If a new version
comes out you want to upgrade to you would do something like
freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.3-RELEASE
