Hello all,
On my dashboard it tells me I am running FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p4 but when I look this up they tell me there is no p4 and the latest is p2, with the latest patches being released on 10/22/25. Can someone tell how to interpret this?
Thanks,
Steve
Hi,
The 'p#' - related to security patches on top of existing release.
You can see it stated for each security patch on official www: https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/
Example from the latest - you can see that "latest p#" = p5
