7.3-RC1 Available...

Wed Feb 17 12:34:36 UTC 2010

Hi!

Today I tried to upgrade from 7.3-BETA2 to 7.3-RC1:

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.3-RC1
# freebsd-update install
# shutdown -r now
# uname -a
FreeBSD oslo.ath.cx 7.3-RC1 FreeBSD 7.3-RC1 #0: Wed Feb 10 07:47:42
UTC 2010     root at driscoll.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
 amd64

Looks OK, but another "freebsd-update install" tells me that there are
no updates available.
Files in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/src were not updated.

Only kernel changes? But why was /usr/src not updated?

Thanks.
