=3E=3E Can=27t this be accomplished by setting

=3E=3E
=3E=3E Then feebsd-update does not try to figure out the components to upda=

=3E=3E by itself=2C but updates the components mentioned in

=3E=3E
=3E=3E I didn=27t try what happens if no source is installed=2E
=3E Good shot=2C that could be the =22override=22 option =2E=2E=2E
=3E
=3E I did the test and it did not work out for me=2E

OK=2C well this could have been expected because freebsd-update is meant=20=

to update the components on a system and not to install new components=2E=
=20
On the update servers there are delta binaries present but not full=20
binaries =28or archives=29 to add new components=2E See further below=2E

=3E No luck=2E Should we file a PR=23 =28there are some error msgs anyway=

=3E jb

To file a PR it will require some work to find out exactly what the PR=20=

should be about=2E
Since freebsd-update is meant to update the system I don=27t really see a=
=20
point to make it install sources =28or others things=29 if they are not=20=

present on the system being updated=2E

To get the sources you can always use csup and set
default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG=5F9=5F1
or use subversion
