OP is presently running -CURRENT. So no, freebsd-update is not an option in that particular case. freebsd-update is still present in the -CURRENT source tree, but at the end of this year support for 9.3, 10.1, and 10.2 is being dropped.[1] So come December, 10.3 will be the only release using freebsd-update. Once 10.3 reaches end-of-life the only options will be to update to 11.x or track 10-STABLE, neither of which will be possible with freebsd-update. The latter will be completely obsolete. I can't speak for the developers, but I can't imagine them keeping it in HEAD for much longer. [1]: https://www.freebsd.org/security/ -- :: Brandon J.
