freebsd-update to 8.3?

[dave]

Strangely, the FreeBSD 8.3 Announcement page makes no mention of using freebsd-update. Is it safe to assume that it is indeed OK to upgrade 8.1 to 8.3 using the usual method:

freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.3-RELEASE

?

Going to answer my own question here: it worked fine*. I did run into this error...

Installing updates...install: ///usr/src/lib/libc/gen/libc_dlopen.c: No such file or directory

...but I don't have /usr/src on the system in question, so no big deal. More on that here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=28510&highlight=libc_dlopen.c+freebsd-update

*Of course, I did a full backup of the machine first. Which was dead simple, because it is a virtual machine!
