https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=273601 Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |cperciva@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #1 from Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> --- Yes, all of those files will be used if you `freebsd-update rollback` all the way back in history. When I first designed this code (for security updates, not upgrading between releases) the number of files was small so it was never an issue. We should probably have a `freebsd-update purge` which make it impossible to rollback and cleans up all those files. OTOH we're going to be moving to pkgbase any decade now and freebsd-update won't be needed any more... right...? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
