Bug ID: 275849
Summary: Feature request: freebsd-update reinstall
Product: Base System
Version: 14.0-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: kit-ty-k...@outlook.com
When the part of the upgrade to a newer release of FreeBSD fails (see for
example https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275847 ), there seems
to be currently no way of installing the missing files other than by copying
them manually from freebsd-src or similar sources.
To fix that I propose a new subcommand to freebsd-update: reinstall.
Calling `freebsd-update reinstall` would force reinstallation of the current
release, making sure every files and directories are correctly installed in the
process.
Such subcommand could also be called `fix` or something of the sort if you
prefer.
