https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D228397 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 reb= oot ... and this is on a SSD drive ... imagine the same process on CLASS 4 SD c= ard 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 fetch= ing 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 upgr= ades like from 11.1-RELEASE to 11.2-RELEASE.
