The freebsd-update build code attempts to extract and ignore timestamps in order to determine whether files are 'really' changing between builds; unfortunately these particular files contain a build artifact which the freebsd-update code was not able to handle, thus resulting in them being incorrectly identified as needing to be distributed. So, this shouldn't have happened. But don't worry the files aren't forged and they do originate from the official freebsd-update server. -- Totus tuus, Glebius. _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
