Not sure if using a jail to test is relevant but this never updates (my) binaries to the specified RELEASE/RELENG, only to the current kernel's patch level. Then there's the issue of specifying -RELEASE to mean -RELENG. > Not sure what you mean by scope issues. That's referring back to the original question of buildworld/installworld vs "cd /usr/src/path/to/patched/binary;make install" (vs freebsd-update) and the granularity of respective updates. > Actually, you want to do this from *outside* the jail, partly out of > healthy paranoia and partly so freebsd-update will re-use previously > downloaded indexes and patches Updates to non-jailed environments are the preferred method to be sure but patching and testing base updates in a jail can be more convenient.
