I am not sure if this is the right forum, but since these binary updates via freebsd-update are usually security oriented... I wanted to report that today's latest binary p5 update (June 5, 2014) does not correctly update the boot line that says 10.0p5. Rather, it reports p4, even after install p5 and rebooting. It is a nit, but it is nice to have it correct. After installing p5 this is what I get just before the login prompt: FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p4 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Jun 3 12:52:18 UTC 2014 If somebody sees this and knows a better list to report this on, could you please forward it appropriately? Thanks, Dan Allen Building FreeBSD since 2.15

For FreeBSD 10 and later, use "/bin/freebsd-version" [root at munich ~]# uname -a FreeBSD munich.fx.org 10.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p4 #0: Tue Jun 3 13:14:57 UTC 2014 root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 [root at munich ~]# freebsd-version 10.0-RELEASE-p5 [root at munich ~]# freebsd-version -k 10.0-RELEASE-p4
Hello, This is a very common question the patch level will not change unless the kernel is updated however the patches are installed.
