Far less than the electricity consumed by an entire planet's worth of
BSD systems building for targets they'll never use.
The target system is in a remote data-center to which I have limited
access and is the only remaining one of its type in my network. The old
installer used to be able to select a set of source archives from which
to update but I don't see that functionality in any of the current
tools. What did I miss?
freebsd-update(8)
pkg upgrade
that would mean running a release, but it makes life so much easier.
Cheers,
Pedro.
