freebsd-update compares the dates on man pages with mandoc.db, and if
any newer pages are found it regenerates mandoc.db.
Previously, if mandoc.db did not already exist the check failed and
freebsd-update then failed to create one. Now, check that mandoc.db
exists before performing the check for newer pages.

The existing logic is nice in theory, but in practice freebsd-update will
not preserve the timestamps on these files. When doing a major upgrade, e.g.
from 12.1-RELEASE -> 12.2-RELEASE, pwd.mkdb et al. appear in the INDEX and
we clobber the timestamp several times in the process of packaging up the
existing system into /var/db/freebsd-update/files and extracting for
comparisons. This leads to these files not getting regenerated when they're
most likely to be needed.
Measures could be taken to preserve timestamps, but it's unclear whether
the complexity and overhead of doing so is really outweighed by the marginal
benefit.
I observed this issue when pkg subsequently failed to install a package that
wanted to add a user, claiming that the user was removed in the process.
bapt@ pointed to this pre-existing bug with freebsd-update as the cause.

With the inclusion of caroot bits, we'll need to also rehash on update as we
do in mergemaster/etcupdate.
If certctl's installed on the system, just unconditionally rehash. This
isn't an expensive operation, and we can refine it to compare
INDEX-{OLD,NEW} later if we really want to.

`freebsd-update updatesready' can be used to check if there are any pending
fetched updates that can be installed.
`freebsd-update showconfig' writes freebsd-update's configuration to
stdout.
This also changes the exit code of `freebsd-update install' to 2 in case
there are no updates pending to be installed and there wasn't a fetch phase
in the same invocation. This allows scripts to tell apart these error
conditions without breaking existing jail managers.
See freebsd-update(8) for details.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.

just "directory" entries.
Prior to this commit, if / was added as part of a security update (how? In
the most recent case, because lib32 was accidentally omitted and was then
re-added, and every installer distribution set gets its own paths) then
the code which was supposed to filter out updates to deleted parts of the
base system (if someone decides to delete / then we shouldn't re-create it
for them) would instead get confused and decided that while / should exist,
// should not exist and needs to be removed.
This fixes the bug which caused freebsd-update to want to delete / (which is
harmless, since `rm /` fails, but scary nonetheless). A workaround is being
applied to the update bits in order to avoid triggering the bug on unpatched
systems.
