Hi,

I'm not altogether sure which list this question should go to, so please
accept my apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to ask and direct=
 me
elsewhere.=20

What I'd like to do is to run a freebsd-update server for some low-power
boards that are tier2 or tier3 arches *and* for various attached hardware
reasons need to run -current (nodebug). I'd like to have the=20
freebsd-update functionality missing from -current as it stands, so that a
full rebuild of the image isn't needed.

I read with interest
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/freebsd-update-server
the article is old but the start of it says it was last updated recently
(2020-06-28), so still valid? so I'd like to ask the experts here:

1. would this be expected to work with -current? Looking through the page it
there's lots of use of patches that pertain to following releng. My use case
doesn't require that. [1]

2. will the server build/run under other arches? I'm interested in arm64 for
this. [1]

3. can it be made to cross-compile with native-xtools? [1]

ultimately what i'd like to have is a freebsd-update server on rpi4/arm64=
=20
building for arm[6,7] arm64 and mips64. On the low power board, run
freebsd-update as usual, apply updates, reboot.

[1] right now I'm only asking if it's possible or if my idea is flawed, or =
if
theres a better idea.

thanks,
--=20
J.
