lwhsu added a comment to D56381: sysutils/firstboot-pkg-upgrade: New port.

note, i like a blank line at the end of scripts for cat reasons. if we don't want this, i can remove it, but it doesn't hurt anything and we do it all over the place.

use logic inspired from @lwhsu to prevent reboot if nothing happened. compare the file size in bytes of the pkg database instead of using pkg inf and checksum to save water/coal. tested on my laptop

@lwhsu out of interest, how do you end up with a system that has FreeBSD-base packages installed but doesn't have pkg bootstrapped?

implement bootstrap pkg if it is not done so already, based on lwhsu feedback, thanks! note, i like a blank line at the end of scripts for cat reasons. if we don't want this, i can remove it, but it doesn't hurt anything and we do it all over the place.

btw, you can try to run it with rclint, but I don't usually follow "Do not quote values unless necessary" error.

Hi, I am also working on this and didn't know this is earlier than me. I think this one is more complete while mine is only focusing on FreeBSD-base repo. However I guess there are still something useful (or not, as I'm still testing):

  • bootstrap/update pkg
  • only reboot when there is pkg updated

Your version leaves out "regression" which I included because this use worked before.

I'm not attached to my version, we just need to have something that's clear. It's fine to include the word regression, however the sole point of this section is listing regressions.

Vladlen's suggested text would address my concerns. @leres can you do this before the release announcement goes out in ten hours? If I hear nothing and no one objects, I will commit the one I wrote already in a few hours.

I fixed punctuation and kept "then rerun man:freebsd-update[8]" , otherwise it looks like advise to run pkg instead of freebsd-update (too short description).

I really like Graham's suggested workaround, but I personally think it's wrong to punctuate items in this type of list. It's bad for URLs. I approve for accepting any combination or none of the suggestions. Thanks @vladlen!
