> I think I am doing a bad thing mixing these two patching systems. What > should I do now? Should I go back and revert some changes? No it seems you don't need to revert anything. But you should avoid mixing in the future. > No updates needed to update system to 6.2-RELEASE-p6. That is already the last update, so there is nothing more needed, freebsd-update detected that. You were 6.2-RELEASE-p5 which was the last before the libarchive, patched libarchive, so you are p6 which is OK. > Am I safe to continue patching the system either way or should I keep only > to one? I don't know how freebsd-update works, so I cannot tell you what is safe doing, except do not mix. I know that for system patch, I will either apply the patch manually and rebuild the kernel, or update the full system and rebuild everything, depending on my mood and on the possible impact on the system. I just try to keep trak of what I have done. Best regards, Olivier
