Updating GhostBSD
Posted: Thu Jan 21, 2016 9:10 am
Hi all,
Just installed GhostBSD yesterday and tried googling the issue but wasn't able to figure out the differences.
From what I found, there are two ways to update your GhostBSD system..
1. freebsd-update fetch install
2. pkg update and then run pkg upgrade
The first one I found was on GhostBSD's wiki but I get a lot of errors after running the "install" portion.. something along the lines of:
"install: //usr/src/usr.sbin/ntp/ntpdc/nl.c: No such file or directory"
I get a lot of errors regarding to the /usr/src folder. Doing the freebsd-update fetch install command didn't update the system. I found somewhere on GhostBSD forums and didn't still understand exactly what's the issue is and that all is ok. To me.. it's not ok because freebsd-update didn't update at all.
The second one works.. it updated everything - Firefox, updated the OS itself to 10.1-RELEASE-p26, etc. before I ran this command.. GhostBSD was at 10.1-RELEASE-p19.
What's the difference between the two commands? freebsd-update and pkg update / upgrade?
thanks!
