I upgraded a machine from 10.0 to 10.1 tonight. Ran in this odd little quirk: # freebsd-update -r 10.1-release upgrade Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 10.0-RELEASE from update2.freebsd.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed: kernel/generic world/base The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed: world/doc world/games Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-release from update2.freebsd.org... failed. Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-release from update5.freebsd.org... failed. Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-release from update4.freebsd.org... failed. Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-release from update6.freebsd.org... failed. Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-release from update3.freebsd.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. # It seems to me that the case of the word "release" shouldn't matter. The tool should either do a case-insensitive match, or case-fold to upper, since that's what all release identifiers use anyway.
