Description ari 2015-11-30 13:15:59 UTC 
After running

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 10.2

from 10.1 with a custom kernel, I get this message

WARNING: This system is running a "smash" kernel, which is not a
kernel configuration distributed as part of FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE.
This kernel will not be updated: you MUST update the kernel manually
before running "/usr/sbin/freebsd-update install".


This message is wrong. Because src/src is one of the components installed by the  "freebsd-update install", you need to build and install the kernel manually AFTER running "freebsd-update install".

However this is still not ideal, because by then you've installed the complete userland. Instead, freebsd-update should install src/src in the same first phase of install as it normally would install the kernel.
