dear all ;
please see below line :
Code: 
game@notepad:~ $ uname -a
FreeBSD notepad.edu.xxx 14.2-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE-p1 GENERIC amd64
game@notepad:~ $ freebsd-version
14.2-RELEASE-p2
game@notepad:~ $
why the output is not same ? please help me .thanks.
 
Last patch update only updated a userland part, nothing in the kernel. So the kernel still has the 'old' version. freebsd-version(8) will show the userland version by default. uname(1) shows the kernel version.

Code: 
     If several of the above options are specified, freebsd-version will print
     the installed kernel version first, then the running kernel version, next
     the userland version, and finally the userland version of the specified
     jails, on separate lines.  If neither is specified, it will print the
     userland version only.

Is this same true between p3 and p1? I am looking for an answer to the same question, but now with p3.
 
SirDice said:
Yes, p3 only included a couple erratas dealing with userland things.

Thank you. Should we (the users in general) simply ignore the freebsd-version -k/-u discrepancy and be happy that the system works, and where can we see what changes were implemented in each update that freebsd-update fetch install provides?

Thank you. I believe that this may seem obvious to you, but to me it looks like there is a list of advisories and a list of notices, but neither constitutes a list of changes.

I did check all advisories of this year and the past year, and
  • all have a solution indicated for them consisting of upgrading a vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch dated after the correction date, and
  • all have a tag indicating that they have been corrected,
but I do not know whethere there can be an advisory that acknowledges an issue and, at the same time, does not state a correction, which would mean that a correction would not be included in the updates provided by freebsd-update.

I do not recommend ignoring it. Regularly make backup copies of your data (snapshots are not backup copies!), snapshots, boot environments (BE).

The individual SA or EN contains the exact change that's fixed with that SA or EN.

Changes to existing (supported) release versions can only happen through an SA or EN.
