Use FreeBSD Update?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

New isos have to go through release engineering, so these would be in
13.1-RELEASE. The current release (13.0) is supported by the FreeBSD-
update binary patching utility.

That’s my experience at least. May not be correct.

Does FreeBSD-update not support 13? If so, you should be able to use
it.

> … the only option is to build my own release?

Alternatives include PkgBase. You could, for example:

1. await a fixed snapshot at
<https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/amd64/amd64/ISO-
IMAGES/13.0/>
2. install STABLE
3. use PkgBase to overwrite it with RELEASE.

*13.0p4* is already at
<https://alpha.pkgbase.live/release/FreeBSD:13:amd64/>

Image building with poudriere appears to be reasonably simple,
although I have not tried it. See:

freebsd-update is not the issue.

In the absence of a FreeBSD-provided installer for 13.0-RELEASE-p4:
something other than 13.0-RELEASE must be installed (before freebsd-
update can be used).

> 12.2 and then freebsd-update

Update to 12.2-RELEASE-p10 before upgrading to 13.0-RELEASE-p4.
