FREEBSD-UPDATE.CONF(5) BSD File Formats Manual FREEBSD-UPDATE.CONF(5)
NAME
freebsd-update.conf -- configuration file for freebsd-update(8)
DESCRIPTION
The freebsd-update.conf file controls the behaviour of the freebsd-update(8) utility. The file contains lines consisting of a case-sensitive
option name and zero or more parameters. Empty lines and any part of a line following a '#' character are ignored. Unless stated otherwise,
specifying an option multiple times is an error.
The possible options and their meanings are as follows:
KeyPrint The single parameter following this keyword is the SHA256 hash of the RSA key which will be trusted to sign updates.
ServerName The single parameter following this keyword is the name of the server or server pool from which updates will be
downloaded.
Components The parameters following this keyword are the components or sub-components of FreeBSD which will be updated. The
components are ``src'' (source code), ``world'' (non-kernel binaries), and ``kernel''; the sub-components are the
individual distribution sets generated as part of the release process (e.g., ``src/base'', ``src/sys'',
``world/base'', ``world/catpages'', ``kernel/smp''). Note that prior to FreeBSD 6.1, the ``kernel'' component was
distributed as part of ``world/base''.
This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters accumulate.
IgnorePaths The parameters following this keyword are regular expressions; updates to paths which start with a string matching
one of these regular expressions will be ignored.
This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters accumulate.
IDSIgnorePaths The parameters following this keyword are regular expressions; paths which start with a string matching one of these
regular expressions will be ignored by "freebsd-update IDS".
This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters accumulate.
UpdateIfUnmodified The parameters following this keyword are regular expressions; updates to paths which start with a string matching
one of these regular expressions will be ignored if the files have been modified locally (unless they are merged --
see MergeChanges below).
This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters accumulate.
MergeChanges The parameters following this keyword are regular expressions; updates to paths which start with a string matching
one of these regular expressions will be merged with local modifications.
This option can be specified multiple times, and the parameters accumulate.
WorkDir The single parameter following this keyword is the directory in which temporary files and downloaded updates will be
stored.
MailTo The single parameter following this keyword is the address to which cron output will be mailed.
AllowAdd The single parameter following this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no'' and specifies whether freebsd-update is
allowed to create new files, directories, and symlinks if these are part of updates downloaded. Note that
freebsd-update will not re-add files which have been deleted from a FreeBSD installation unless those files were
previously added as part of an update.
AllowDelete The single parameter following this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no'' and specifies whether freebsd-update is
allowed to delete files, directories, and symlinks as part of updates downloaded.
KeepModifiedMetadata The single parameter following this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no'' and specifies whether freebsd-update should
keep existing file ownership, permissions, and flags when installing updates if these have been modified locally.
StrictComponents The single parameter following this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no'' and specifies whether freebsd-update should
interpret the list of components of FreeBSD specified via the Components option strictly as a list of components
installed which should be upgraded when the upgrade command is used ("yes"), or merely as a list of components which
might be installed, of which freebsd-update should identify which in fact are present ("no").
BackupKernel The single parameter following this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no'' and specifies whether freebsd-update will cre-
ate a backup of the old kernel before installing a new kernel. This backup kernel can be used to recover a system
where the newly installed kernel somehow did not work. Note that the backup kernel is not reverted to its original
state by the freebsd-update rollback command.
BackupKernelDir This keyword sets the directory which is used to store a backup kernel, if the BackupKernel feature is enabled. If
the directory already exist, and it was not created by freebsd-update, the directory is skipped. In the case of the
primary directory name not being usable, a number starting with '1' is appended to the directory name. Like with
the primary directory name, the constructed directory name is only used if the path name does not exist, or if the
directory was previously created by freebsd-update. If the constructed directory still exist the appended number is
incremented with 1 and the directory search process restarted. Should the number increment go above 9,
freebsd-update will abort.
BackupKernelSymbolFiles The single parameter following this keyword must be ``yes'' or ``no'' and specifies whether freebsd-update will also
backup kernel symbol files, if they exist. The kernel symbol files takes up a lot of disk space and are not needed
for recovery purposes. If the symbol files are needed, after recovering a system using the backup kernel, the
freebsd-update rollback command will recreate the symbol files along with the old kernel.
FILES
/etc/freebsd-update.conf Default location of the freebsd-update configuration file.
