.Sh NAME
|
|

|
|
.Nd configuration file for
|
|
.Xr freebsd-update 8
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file controls the behaviour of the
|
|
.Xr freebsd-update 8
|
|
utility.
|
|
The file contains lines consisting of a case-sensitive option name and
|
|
zero or more parameters.
|
|
Empty lines and any part of a line following a
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
character are ignored.
|
|
Unless stated otherwise, specifying an option multiple times is an
|
|
error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The possible options and their meanings are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm BackupKernelSymbolFiles"
|
|
.It Cm KeyPrint
|
|
The single parameter following this keyword is the SHA256 hash
|
|
of the RSA key which will be trusted to sign updates.
|
|
.It Cm ServerName
|
|
The single parameter following this keyword is the name of the
|
|
server or server pool from which updates will be downloaded.
|
|
.It Cm Components
|
|
The parameters following this keyword are the components or
|
|
sub-components of
|
|
.Fx
|
|
which will be updated.
|
|
The components are
|
|
.Dq src
|
|
(source code),
|
|
.Dq world
|
|
(non-kernel binaries), and
|
|
.Dq kernel ;
|
|
the sub-components are the individual distribution sets generated as
|
|
part of the release process (e.g.,
|
|
.Dq src/base ,
|
|
.Dq src/sys ,
|
|
.Dq world/base ,
|
|
.Dq world/catpages ,
|
|
.Dq kernel/smp ) .
|
|
Note that prior to
|
|
.Fx 6.1 ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Dq kernel
|
|
component was distributed as part of
|
|
.Dq world/base .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters
|
|
accumulate.
|
|
.It Cm IgnorePaths
|
|
The parameters following this keyword are regular expressions;
|
|
updates to paths which start with a string matching one of
|
|
these regular expressions will be ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters
|
|
accumulate.
|
|
.It Cm IDSIgnorePaths
|
|
The parameters following this keyword are regular expressions;
|
|
paths which start with a string matching one of these regular
|
|
expressions will be ignored by "freebsd-update IDS".
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters
|
|
accumulate.
|
|
.It Cm UpdateIfUnmodified
|
|
The parameters following this keyword are regular expressions;
|
|
updates to paths which start with a string matching one of
|
|
these regular expressions will be ignored if the files have
|
|
been modified locally (unless they are merged -- see MergeChanges
|
|
below).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters
|
|
accumulate.
|
|
.It Cm MergeChanges
|
|
The parameters following this keyword are regular expressions;
|
|
updates to paths which start with a string matching one of
|
|
these regular expressions will be merged with local modifications.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters
|
|
accumulate.
|
|
.It Cm WorkDir
|
|
The single parameter following this keyword is the directory
|
|
in which temporary files and downloaded updates will be stored.
|
|
.It Cm MailTo
|
|
The single parameter following this keyword is the address
|
|
to which
|
|
.Cm cron
|
|
output will be mailed.
|
|
.It Cm AllowAdd
|
|
The single parameter following this keyword must be
|
|
.Dq yes
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq no
|
|
and specifies whether
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update
|
|
is allowed to create new files, directories, and symlinks if
|
|
these are part of updates downloaded.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update
|
|
will not re-add files which have been deleted from a
|
|
.Fx
|
|
installation unless those files were previously added as part
|
|
of an update.
|
|
.It Cm AllowDelete
|
|
The single parameter following this keyword must be
|
|
.Dq yes
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq no
|
|
and specifies whether
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update
|
|
is allowed to delete files, directories, and symlinks as
|
|
part of updates downloaded.
|
|
.It Cm KeepModifiedMetadata
|
|
The single parameter following this keyword must be
|
|
.Dq yes
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq no
|
|
and specifies whether
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update
|
|
should keep existing file ownership, permissions, and flags
|
|
when installing updates if these have been modified locally.
|
|
.It Cm StrictComponents
|
|
The single parameter following this keyword must be
|
|
.Dq yes
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq no
|
|
and specifies whether
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update
|
|
should interpret the list of components of
|
|
.Fx
|
|
specified via the
|
|
.Cm Components
|
|
option strictly as a list of components installed which
|
|
should be upgraded when the
|
|
.Cm upgrade
|
|
command is used ("yes"), or merely as a list of components
|
|
which might be installed, of which
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update
|
|
should identify which in fact are present ("no").
|
|
.It Cm BackupKernel
|
|
The single parameter following this keyword must be
|
|
.Dq yes
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq no
|
|
and specifies whether
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update
|
|
will create a backup of the old kernel before installing a new kernel.
|
|
This backup kernel can be used to recover a system where the newly
|
|
installed kernel somehow did not work.
|
|
Note that the backup kernel is not reverted to its original state by
|
|
the
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update
|
|
rollback command.
|
|
.It Cm BackupKernelDir
|
|
This keyword sets the directory which is used to store a backup
|
|
kernel, if the BackupKernel feature is enabled.
|
|
If the directory already exist, and it was not created by
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update ,
|
|
the directory is skipped.
|
|
In the case of the primary directory name not being usable, a number
|
|
starting with
|
|
.Sq 1
|
|
is appended to the directory name.
|
|
Like with the primary directory name, the constructed directory name is
|
|
only used if the path name does not exist, or if the directory was
|
|
previously created by
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update .
|
|
If the constructed directory still exist the appended number is
|
|
incremented with 1 and the directory search process restarted.
|
|
Should the number increment go above 9,
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update
|
|
will abort.
|
|
.It Cm BackupKernelSymbolFiles
|
|
The single parameter following this keyword must be
|
|
.Dq yes
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq no
|
|
and specifies whether
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update
|
|
will also backup kernel symbol files, if they exist.
|
|
The kernel symbol files takes up a lot of disk space and are not
|
|
needed for recovery purposes.
|
|
If the symbol files are needed, after recovering a system using the
|
|
backup kernel, the
|
|
.Cm freebsd-update
|
|
rollback command will recreate the symbol files along with the old
|
|
kernel.
