Running freebsd-update to convert 10.1-RELEASE-p36 to -p37 updates 3 efi files in /boot, but they are not mentioned in any security advisory or errata notice that I can find and no corresponding source files are updated. This is repeatable on several unrelated systems so I don't think my files have been corrupted. Is this expected? # freebsd-version -u 10.1-RELEASE-p36 # freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-RELEASE from update4.freebsd.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. The following files are affected by updates, but no changes have been downloaded because the files have been modified locally: /etc/ntp.conf The following files will be updated as part of updating to 10.1-RELEASE-p37: /bin/freebsd-version /boot/boot1.efi /boot/boot1.efifat /boot/loader.efi /usr/bin/bspatch /usr/sbin/freebsd-update /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh /usr/src/usr.bin/bsdiff/bspatch/bspatch.c /usr/src/usr.sbin/freebsd-update/freebsd-update.sh __Martin
