Hi Alex, Those commands will update the base system in the jail directory "jaildir1" with the latest bits that were previously compiled with "make buildworld". I don't believe they will disturb any other data in /usr/local, if that's what you are concerned about. Yes, you will also need to run mergemaster - I forgot about that step. You can run it outside of the jail in question if you use the "-D" option. I use ezjail here, and it will automate a lot of these steps for you. Is there a reason that you can't use it?
