Do you mean as a substitute for the old: $ cd /usr/src $ svn up $ make buildworld $ make buildkernel Or by "don't need patches", do you mean building updates based on tracking stable/12 instead of downloading the security advisory patches? I don't think the former makes sense. For just one system, building world and kernel by hand is much easier than using freebsd-update-build. -Alan
