https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=251743 --- Comment #3 from Evilham <contact@evilham.com> --- Thanks, I have read both freebsd-version(1) and uname(1). Indeed that, and seeking not to special-case FreeBSD when dealing with multiple BSDs is where confusion comes from. For comparison, uname(1) in other BSDs: -r print the operating system release. And from uname(1) in FreeBSD: -r Write the current release level of the operating system to standard output. That description would seem to imply that "12.2-RELEASE-p2" is the expected output on a fully upgraded system. The replies to this bug report appear to indicate that that's not supposed to be the case, so could we patch uname(1) to reflect what uname -r actually means? I lack the understanding as to what the slight difference is and what exactly uname -r means, so I don't feel confident proposing the documentation patch. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
