I just upgraded to 15.1-p1. When I log in or if I `uname -a`, the version shows "-dirty" after the version. Is this expected / intentional?

I think it is the custom "label" used when compiling the kernel. I saw it after updating my 14-RELEASE to newest 14.4-RELEASE-p7 and spotted same thing too. After googling for a while, just a bad naming I guess , I thought i did something wrong while updating.

It is the unfortunate result of operator error when submitting the
patches to the freebsd-update build server. Since only the metadata is
affected, and only for amd64, we will most likely just leave it be until
the next set of advisories.
