Hi,
I'm receiving warnings when trying to perform a "freebsd-update" on a
server:
# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.

I had more or less the same problem on another server, this one running
10.0-RELEASE-p10 Release. In that case, following what I'd read on
the FreeBSD forum, I simply removed src from the "Components" in
freebsd-update.conf, since after checking I saw that /usr/src was empty.
On the other server though, running FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE-p16, I saw
that the directory is not empty:
du -h src/
6.0k src/etc/pkg
8.0k src/etc
6.0k src/share/keys/pkg/trusted
10k src/share/keys/pkg
14k src/share/keys
16k src/share
26k src/
---
Would it be safe to remove the src component from
freebsd-update.conf here as well or should I keep that?
Thank you very much for your help,
Francesco
