https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D226893 Bug ID: 226893 Summary: freebsd-update supporting explicit patch-level for fetch+upgrade Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: 482254ac@razorfever.net Created attachment 191785 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D191785&action= =3Dedit Adds support for TAG_OVERRIDE environment variable Attached is a proof-of-concept for specifying a patch level for freebsd-upd= ate. This is desirable so that users can have a repeatable installation, update = and upgrade process that is supported by the FreeBSD project, and doesn't requi= re many additional supporting infrastructure on the user's part. As it is right now, users will either need to: - run their own build/freebsd-update server infrastructure - run some kind of mirror (unsupported) - manipulate the update data in /var/db/freebsd-update (unsupported) - patch freebsd-update A desirable outcome would be a documented command line usage that would all= ow to specify the patch level in a user friendly fashion when issuing either freebsd-update -r WHATEVER upgrade, or freebsd-update fetch. For example: freebsd-update -r 11.1-RELEASE -p4 upgrade freebsd-update -p4 fetch This will allow systems administrators to upgrade at a cadence that makes s= ense for their organization, or scripts to build repeatable images, while still using the binaries provided by the FreeBSD project. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
