configuration files.
If the current file differs from the canonical version from the old release
only due to differences in the $FreeBSD$ tag (which can happen if the system
was installed from source code, depending on how the src tree was checked out)
then freebsd-update will treat the file as "unmodified" and silently update
it to the "clean" version in the new release.
If the only change being made to a configuration file is in the $FreeBSD$
tag (e.g., for any configuration files which have been modified locally, now
that we're using SVN and the $FreeBSD$ tag changes when a branch is created),
freebsd-update will no longer print the diff and prompt "Does this look
reasonable (y/n)?".

mode" and normal freebsd-update on a security branch.
The backup kernel will be written to /boot/kernel.old, if the directory
does not exist, or the directory was created by freebsd-update in a
previous backup. Otherwise freebsd-update will generate a new directory
name for use by the backup. By default symbol files are not backed up
to save diskspace and avoid filling up the root partition.
This feature is fully configurable in the freebsd-update config file,
but defaults to enabled.

shared libraries.
This fixes a problem which resulted in 6.x->7.x upgrades having the
/usr/lib/libpthread.so -> libthr.so symlink missing; what happened was
that the old libpthread.so symlink pointed to /lib/libpthread.so.2 --
which matched the "/lib/*\.so\.[0-9]+" regex -- but the new symlink
didn't, so FreeBSD Update got confused and deleted the symlink as part
of its "remove old shared libraries" step.
To recreate the symlink (which I understand is necessary for ports like
KDE to build) on a 7.x system which FreeBSD Update upgraded from 6.x:
# ln -s libthr.so /usr/lib/libpthread.so

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.

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

been applied or if a file being updated is linked many times (such as
/rescue/*).

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.
