Packaged base is a beta feature in FreeBSD https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase But IMO there's nothing wrong with freebsd-update.

- rleigh 9y agoUsing pkg to update both base and ports with a single tool will be nice. As will updating jails robustly; freebsd-update is not so great in jails in my experience.
- cperciva 9y agofreebsd-update works fine in jails, as long as you use it correctly. Unfortunately there are a few landmines due to versioning issues.
- sydney6 9y ago".. use it correctly": As in excluding the kernel component in freebsd-update.conf or how do you mean?
- cperciva 9y agoThe place people usually trip up is with freebsd-update getting confused about what version it's trying to update. The '--currently-running <release>' option is your friend here.
- loeg 9y agoYeah, I'm familiar — I'm a FreeBSD developer. Pkgbase is a feature in development; it's not officially complete or supported in any release.
