How I update my jails: 1. cvsup sources 2. make buildworld and buildkernel (to update host) 3. make installkernel, make installworld and mergemaster (to update host) 4. cd /usr/src && make installworld DESTDIR=/your_jail_root_here (run from host to update jail) 5. mergemaster -D /your_jail_root_here (run from host to update jail) > My last idea is to mount the jailhost's /usr/src and /usr/obj > directories into the jail with nullfs and then after having run > buildworld on the jailhost, run installworld in the jail and then use > mergemaster to take care of /etc within the jail.

However, some ports need a set of /usr/src to compile. I for myself prefer to have independent sets of /usr/src and /usr/ports inside my jails, so I also run cvsup inside my jails.
