Well when I use freebsd-update it's to fetch security advisories and errata notices, both available on the lower right side here: https://www.freebsd.org/ Open one up, look for the patch and view it. I have no idea about 2. For 3, the SA and EN contain this at the bottom: VI. Correction details The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each affected branch. I don't think you'd be able to patch a release machine without freebsd-update as with stable/head, you need to fetch latest code, build world and head as described here: https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html -- ------- inum: 883510009027723 sip: jungleboogie@sip2sip.info xmpp: jungle-boogie@jit.si
