You could upgrade from 9-10 via freebsd update, and the OP did say when 11 is released, so the whole development case is not relevant in his case. It would also seem odd users would be left hanging with a missing step from 10-11 with binary updates. Sure freebsd-update wont be there in 11, but you are running freebsd 10 when you do the actual upgrade, and have freebsd-update available. On 22 March 2016 at 23:11, Brandon J.
