Summary

freebsd-update(8) allows chained commands, thus when running "fetch install" and fetch returns 0 with nothing to update, install will fail and the whole command returns 1.

This patch:

  • Change the status code to 0 when "freebsd-update install" has nothing to install (aka "Successfully installed nothing")
  • Omit the error message "Run '/usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch' first." of "install" if "fetch" was run in the same command.

This closes PR190660.

won't think fork '/bin/true' and use the return value? rather than the literal value "true"?

I think the no-bracket true here will be attempted to parse as a builtin command or /bin/true but a literal value, but I am not completely sure.

I think it makes more sense to treat it like $NOTTYOK etc, and just make it 0 or 1

Hopefully Colin can get a chance to look at this too, but looks good to me now.
