Correct, and let me also add that the above setting is the default one, so unless you edited the file yourself (highly unlikely) you are already getting the sources when using freebsd-update. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
freebsd-update and sources / custom kernel
Hello, I hope you can clear my doubts. When I use freebsd-update to update a machine with a custom kernel, do I need to fetch sources before I rebuild the kernel or are they fetched by freebsd-update utility?
