If your /etc/freebsd-update.conf contains the "src" component,
the /usr/src subtree will be subject to updates. You can at first
run "freebsd-update fetch" to obtain the compressed update and
look for the file that would become /usr/src/UPDATING (and can
be found in /var/db/freebsd-update) when you apply the update
with "freebsd-update install".
