I had an 8.2 system that I wanted to take to 8.4. First I tried upgrade to 8.4,
getting (in essence) can't do that. So I upgraded 8.2 which worked giving the
end-of-life warning. But seemed work. I then did an upgrade to 8.3 with:
freebsd-update -r 8.3-RELEASE upgrade

This is typically either due either to broken SRV support in DNS, or
the absence of full dns on a private network behind proxies. Perhaps
you need to set
Thanks for the help, I figured out the [likely] answer and included it at the
bottom.

I thought I'd give freebsd-update a try since I run a GENERIC kernel.
mobius# freebsd-update -s update.freebsd.org fetch
Looking up update.freebsd.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching public key from update.freebsd.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.
Thinking perhaps a networking issue
Embarrassingly simple actually. I configured a new server from a 7.0 CD I made a
while back, brought the system to 7.1 the regular way and ran freebsd-update.
The embarrassing part is I took little note of the fetch output other than 24
files were updated. Can I find out which 24?

Hi,
I have just started getting into the realm of kernel building, and I have a
question in so far as upgrades.
Is it possible to do a freebsd-update fetch then install, reboot, and then
install again to get to the latest release you want to run?
Update /usr/src with sources and build a kernel
I'm trying to use freebsd-update to upgrade a system from 7.0-RELEASE-
p9 to 7.1
running
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.1-RELEASE
generates this
Fetching metadata signature for 7.1-RELEASE from
update1.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Fetching 1 metadata patches.
I know that recompiling the kernel was a way to do it but I Wanted to
avoid it.

I have the same problem here. Uname shows "7.0-RELEASE" after reboot
and
shows me I have already hte latest patch level 7.0-RELEASE-p1
anyway uname -a shows me always 7.0-RELEASE #0
how can I do to have uname to show me the correct patch level ?
uname tells you about running kernel

The cause for this confusion is the fact that patches 5 and 6 were for a
userland utility (file) and a library (libarchive), not for the kernel.
So for these patches, the kernel (which contains the release-level
string) isn't rebuilt and so it isn't updated.
1) change the update mechanism to upda

Hello,
while updating my FreeBSD box, freebsd-update reported:

No updates needed to update system to 6.2-RELEASE-p6.

I have machine wich is build from sources (FreeBSD 6.2p3 , RELENG_6_2).
Can I use freebsd-update on that machine straight away?

I am newbie running FreeBSD 5.2.1 with a custom kernel. Not any major
modifications, I just commented out a few devices which I do not have
and copied over a few items from the Notes file.
I just ran freebsd-update to pick up security patches. It fetched and
installed without any problems.
