Hello.
Earlier today I tried to enter the classic upgrade command "freebsd-upgrade" and I got an unexpected response. Well, it was unexpected to me. It may be standard procedure for all I know. But the specifics: Code:
:] freebsd-update fetch src component not installed, skipped freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from a version that is not a release (including alpha, beta and release candidates) using freebsd-update. Instead, FreeBSD can be directly upgraded by source or upgraded to a RELEASE/RELENG version prior to running freebsd-update. Currently running: 13.0-STABLE I thought "stable" versions were considered Okay. What the heck? Anyway, I don't know if anything is my system needs upgrading or updating today and now, but sooner or later it will. So I thought I would inquire. Thanks in advance, RJPugh |

No, STABLE is sort of a work in progress. Fred Cash wrote a good description of the differences and let me put it up on my site at https://srobb.net/release.html
Even though it's for much older versions, the descriptions are still accurate. The freebsd-update program only works with RELEASE. |

scottro,
Thank you for posting that link I really found it quite helpful because even though I do consider myself some what of an authority on FreeBSD. I'm always open to both admitting that the prior attitude doesn't get you really far and that if I claim to be a life long learner and close my mind to other peoples perspective and approaches no one will want to be around me weather electronic or in person and I'll be a very lonely person.
