            Bug ID: 198035
           Summary: Make freebsd-version output revision information for
                    non-release builds
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.1-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: aberg010 at my.hennepintech.edu

Currently, freebsd-version is not very useful on -STABLE and -CURRENT since the
version information it gives is too basic. freebsd-version on a release version
can tell you if the kernel is a different version from the userland and if the
running kernel is different from the installed kernel (by comparing to uname
output). On non-release versions, there could be some serious mismatches
between kernel and userland (especially on -CURRENT), and freebsd-version would
not indicate it, nor can it indicate that the userland was successfully
updated.
