[HEADS UP] "freebsd-update rollback" broken on minor version upgrades
A quick heads-up to everyone here using my new FreeBSD Update "upgrade" code: If you have performed a minor version upgrade (e.g., 6.2-RELEASE -> 6.3-BETA1 or 7.0-BETA1.5 -> 7.0-BETA2) please do not attempt to roll it back using "freebsd-update rollback". That code is currently broken and will make your system unbootable. I should have this fixed within the next couple of days. Colin Percival

Anyone who downloads freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz from daemonology.net after this point, or anyone using the code in 6.3-RC1 or 7.0-RC1, should be able to rollback minor version upgrades successfully.
