E.g. I have a system that I installed from the 12.0 release iso and I've run through the `freebsd-uppdate {fetch,install}` dance a couple of times. It now reports itself as this: ``` FreeBSD foo.example.com 12.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p4 GENERIC amd64 ``` I'm not sure if it's up to date or not. In the past I've run `freebsd-update fetch` and examined the output to decide if I need to `freebsd-update install`. If I postpone the install (scheduling a convenient time), I always feel a bit awkward, having an update fetched and sitting there. The only rational reason for the feeling is worrying what would happen if another update was release before I got this one installed. And, perhaps I'm just a neat freak... Is there a page somewhere that lists the current patch releases of the current versions? I've checked: - the releases page: https://www.freebsd.org/releases - the 12.0 errata page: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.0R/errata.html - the `freebsd-announce`: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/) list, which has messages about individual issues, but I don't see release announcements. I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but.... g.
