Hi, I've finally cleaned up a local patch I've been using and sent it as a code review: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D17119 As stated in the subject this patch uses a deinstall script to make the kernel packages copy the kernel directory to kernel.old when deinstalling. This leaves a fallback kernel on the system when upgrading, which I find quite useful. I intentionally made it mimic the "make installkernel" behavior. I did not add any reviewers in the phabric review since I don't know who I should ask, but I'd like to get some feedback about this. Thanks! -- Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org>
