When I was upgrading from 10.1-RELEASE to 10.2-RELEASE through a normal binary update with freebsd-update -r 10.2-RELEASE, I got a few errors about no files existing: /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory
I followed this solution, by updating the src, the...
Hello everyone,
I have a problem updating a system from 10.2-RELEASE-p7 to 10.2-RELEASE-p8 and hope someone would be so nice to help me out.

Hi,
I'd like to know if you have a good way of keeping a system completely up to date in a completely automated way.

I didn't really mind the error and just rebooted the system when...
After I run freebsd-update fetch I get a long list of files (example) that will get updated with a freebsd-update install.
