I'm now re-booting the way I manage my server since I now only have one to worry about instead of dozens, and I want to do it using binary updates and packages for everything. I do still want up-to-date source tree for reference and to build a customized kernel. To that end, I'm using freebsd-update to manage the binary and source components. It appears that my source tree is updated, however the UPDATING file itself is not updated. I checked the /var/db/freebsd-update contents and I do not see any reference to patching this file. Is that an oversight or is that just not expected to get patched? As it stands right now, my source tree is for 11.1-p1 but the UPDATING file has no notes on it. This seems inconsistent to me.
