This article describes building an internal FreeBSD Update Server.
The freebsd-update-server
is written by Colin Percival <[email protected]>, Security Officer Emeritus of
FreeBSD. For users that think it is convenient to update their
systems against an official update server, building their own
FreeBSD Update Server may help to extend its functionality by supporting
manually-tweaked FreeBSD releases or by providing a local mirror
that will allow faster updates for a number of
machines.
