FreeBSD Handbook (at the end of section 25.2.2) says: "However, freebsd-update will always update the /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh file. The current patch level (as indicated by the -p number reported by uname -r) is obtained from this file. Rebuilding your custom kernel, even if nothing else changed, will allow uname(1) to accurately report the current patch level of the system." From this I conclude that if I rebuild the kernel (the general kernel, not a custom kernel), it should reflect patch level correctly. This raises another question: are the updates made sequentially, as p1, p2, etc.? This would explain why the kernel stayed at p3 level while the system was updated to p4. I Suppose if the update was done in one step after fetching and applying all update patches the kernel should reflect the system's patch level. Is this correct? I am confused a little bit.
