bit confused by the kernel version currently in use

M

moobsd

So, maybe it's my complete ineptitude or because I'm just a noob still with FreeBSD, but after I've upgraded to 14.0-p4, shouldn't my current kernel version be that of 14.0-p4 as well?

Code: 
$ uname -r
14.0-RELEASE-p3
$ freebsd-version
14.0-RELEASE-p4

I checked my boot environments too and I'm on the latest one.. any ideas, or is this to be expected?

At any rate, I'm really digging 14.0-RELEASE, besides the fact that I have to use wifibox to reliably use my iwlwifi adapter. I'm currently using it as a daily driver/workstation after switching from Fedora.

Kudo's to the dev's.

Thanks in advance!

No. P4 only involved some userland executables and libraries. So the kernel isn't updated, it would only be a cosmetic change because the version string is baked in at compile time.

Code: 
dice@fbsd-test:~ % freebsd-version -urk
14.0-RELEASE-p3
14.0-RELEASE-p3
14.0-RELEASE-p4
 
Thanks sir! I really feel like a noob now after getting pushed to this forum and everyone asking the same question. Appreciate it!
