https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228397 Bug ID: 228397 Summary: freebsd-update: painfully slow on upgrades between major versions Product: Base System Version: 11.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vermaden@interia.pl Hi, upgrade from up-to-date FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p10 to FreeBSD 11.2-BETA2 takes forever ... It took several hours ro fetch 45000+ (!) patches, then several hours to install them and now several hours to finish the installation after the reboot ... and this is on a SSD drive ... imagine the same process on CLASS 4 SD card with Raspberry Pi 2 ... ages. IMHO current 'patches' approach is good for security updates (from p8 to p9 for example) but its not suited for large upgrades like major version change. IMHO HardenedBSD approach is better here (and magnitudes faster) with fetching the whole new image and merging the differences. If it would be me I would left current 'patches method' for minor updated (between pX versions) and would import the HardenedBSD 'way' for major upgrades like from 11.1-RELEASE to 11.2-RELEASE.
