shared object files which have the same name as currently-installed
shared object files should be reinstalled after binaries are rolled
back. The order for rolling back updates is therefore
1. Install any old shared object files which can be installed without
overwriting a new shared object file.
2. Rollback everything which isn't a shared object or kernel file.
3. Rollback any shared object files which we didn't deal with in (1).
4. Rollback to the old kernel.

upgrading to new releases. Important parts of this code include
* automatically determining which optional components (e.g., src,
info, proflibs) are installed.
* merging changes in files which are modified locally and have
changed between the currently running and new release.
* prompting the user to rebuild all 3rd party software before
deleting old shared libraries.
Yes, this is compatible with "freebsd-update rollback" -- you can
test a new -BETA and roll back to the old release if you don't
like it.
Subject to re@ approval, this will be MFCed before 7.0-BETA3 and
6.3-RC1.

* When installing updates, make sure that securelevel <= 0. Otherwise
we can't remove the schg flag from files.
* When preparing to download updates, check to see if we already have
them sitting in the /files/ directory. This saves bandwidth if users
run "freebsd-update fetch" more than once without installing updates
in between.

from EoL minus 6 months to EoL minus 3 months, in order to increase the odds
of there actually being a more recent release to which users can upgrade.
(In particular, for releases which are only supported for 12 months, it's
quite likely that the next release will occur between 6 and 9 months later.)

patching and for rolling back updates, don't copy a file if it has already
been stored. This provides a significant speedup to the "Preparing to
download files" stage of "freebsd-update fetch" if many updates have already
been applied or if a file being updated is linked many times (such as
/rescue/*).

operating with the "-b basedir" option would not correctly update files
which had flags set or were hardlinked.

1. When downloading metadata files, make sure we only download each
file once; without this fix, "freebsd-update fetch" will fail the first
time it is run if there have been no updates yet for the installed
release.
2. If the FOO kernel is installed in /boot/kernel instead of /boot/FOO
and the /boot/FOO directory does not exist, don't try to update
/boot/FOO. This is an issue only where an update involves adding a new
kernel module.
3. When removing files and directories, operate in reverse
lexographical order, in order to ensure that files are removed before
the directory which contains them.
