# freebsd-update -r 10.3-STABLE upgrade
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-RELEASE from update5.freebsd.org...
done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed:
kernel/generic src/src world/base world/lib32
The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed:
world/doc world/games
Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y
Fetching metadata signature for 10.3-STABLE from update5.freebsd.org...
failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.3-STABLE from update4.freebsd.org...
failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.3-STABLE from update6.freebsd.org...
failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.3-STABLE from update3.freebsd.org...
failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.
What am I doing wrong? (I get the same failure attempting to upgrade
to 10.1-RELEASE and 10.2-RELEASE.) -- George

After upgrading to the latest 10.1-RELEASE:
I can update to 10.3-RELEASE, and that will probably do for now.
Should it have worked to update from 10.1-RELEASE to 10.3-STABLE
directly? If I decide to upgrade from 10.3-RELEASE to 10.3-STABLE
later on, should I expect that to work? -- George

No. Freebsd-update is only for binary updates. Stable and head are where

you build from source and therefore, freebsd-update doesn't work.
