I don't think we should update this every time a new version is available, as it only serves as an example. Though, 12.0-CURRENT and 10.3-STABLE do not exist anymore, so I understand that this part is technically not correct. Should we switch to more general version references instead (e.g. A.B-STABLE)?

We could just add this to (the/a) list of files to edit per year/release/etc. A commit references this bug: Author: emaste Date: Tue Mar 12 17:03:59 UTC 2019 New revision: 345071 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/345071 Log: MFC r344818: freebsd-update.8: update example to contemporary versions PR: 235761 Reported by: linimon Changes: _U stable/12/ stable/12/usr.sbin/freebsd-update/freebsd-update.8 A commit references this bug: Author: emaste Date: Tue Mar 12 17:04:48 UTC 2019 New revision: 345072 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/345072 Log: MFC r344818: freebsd-update.8: update example to contemporary versions PR: 235761 Reported by: linimon Changes: _U stable/11/ stable/11/usr.sbin/freebsd-update/freebsd-update.8 |
The existing text: e.g., FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE and FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE, but not FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE or FreeBSD 12-CURRENT. ought to be e.g., FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE and FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE, but not FreeBSD 10.4-STABLE or FreeBSD 13-CURRENT.
