>Description:
Running "freebsd-update fetch" I get the following output:
=====
hopalong# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 8.2-RELEASE from update5.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.
No updates needed to update system to 8.2-RELEASE-p4.
=====
I'm new to FreeBSD and after looking through the FreeBSD website I
think I may have answered my question, but thought I would say that
the message "No updates needed to update system to 8.2-RELEASE-p4"
seems a little contradictory: if "8.2-RELEASE-p4" isn't relevant for
my FreeBSD installation why even mention it.
As far as answering my question, i.e. 'how does one install 8.2-RELEASE-p4 on a system running 8.2-RELEASE-p3', if I understand the relevant security advisory,
http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-11:05.unix.asc
it looks like "8.2-RELEASE-p4" is an update for source, consequently, I'm getting the output that I am from freebsd-update because I don't have any source installed on my system.
