=3E=3E To file a PR it will require some work to find out exactly what the=
 PR
=3E=3E should be about=2E
=3E=3E Since freebsd-update is meant to update the system I don=27t really=
 see a
=3E=3E point to make it install sources =28or others things=29 if they are=
 not
=3E=3E present on the system being updated=2E
=3E=3E =2E=2E=2E
=3E Well=2C that proves my earlier point=2E

You are right=2E

=3E
=3E But=2C you brought up that =22StrictComponents yes=22 option and we hav=
e to figure
=3E out what it means =2E=2E=2E

 From looking at the freebsd-update script =28it=27s in /usr/sbin=29 I=20=

understand when StrictComponents is set to yes it skips the step=2C=20
inspecting system=2E=2E=2E=2E and uses the list provided in freebsd-update=
=2Econf=2C=20
so this option might save some time and disk activity=2E
I don=27t fully understand what the impact might be when running a custom=
=20
kernel=2E

=3E
=3E =23 When upgrading between releases=2C should the list of Components be=

=3E =23 read strictly =28StrictComponents yes=29 or merely as a list of com=
ponents
=3E =23 which *might* be installed of which FreeBSD Update should figure ou=
t
=3E =23 which actually are installed and upgrade those =28StrictComponents=
 no=29=3F
=3E =23 StrictComponents no
=3E
=3E The components are=3A
=3E Components src world kernel
