freebsd-update problem (on 6.2)
I did cvsup to RELENG_6_2 today and make build(world|kernel) install(kernel|world) After mergemaster reboot uname reports 6.2-RELEASE-p3 but `freebsd-update fetch` downloads patches to 6.2-RELEASE-p3 so I installed them by `freebsd-update install`. uname reports 6.2-RELEASE-p2 after reboot! If I try to run freebsd-update fetch again, I got this: - Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature from update1.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. The following files are affected by updates, but no changes have been downloaded because the files have been modified locally: /etc/rc.d/jail No updates needed to update system to 6.2-RELEASE-p3. -- So there is definitely something wrong - uname reports p2, freebsd-update p3 and at last /etc/rc.d/jail seems to it locally modified, but it is not! The whole system is GENERIC without any modifications.

This is correct. uname(1) reports the kernel version, and the change from 6.2-RELEASE-p2 to 6.2-RELEASE-p3 did not affect the kernel. The following files are affected by updates, but no changes have been downloaded because the files have been modified locally: /etc/rc.d/jail This is correct. The version you have here is not the version which was distributed with the release -- it's the version in the latest RELENG_6_2.

Is there a way to force it to update anyway Only by editing the freebsd-update script or by modifying uname(1). and is there any reason I would NOT want to force it? In general it's a bad idea, since FreeBSD Update looks at what files you had installed from the old release and whether you've modified any of them in order to decide how to upgrade to the new release. If you confuse freebsd-update enough to convince it to upgrade your non-supported installation, it's likely to overwrite modified configuration files or not update files. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to get my machine updated, which was installed from a snapshot ISO, without having to do a buildworld. There isn't any good solution here, yet. I might add support for the snapshot ISOs at some point (at least for upgrading to/from them -- there will not be security updates built for them).

Colin, Can I use freebsd-update to update from 6.1-STABLE-200608 to the latest version? When I try to run the program it says its not compatible...
