--- Comment #5 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@freebsd.org> ---
(In reply to Kenan Bektas from comment #0 and comment #2)

Please consider things such as: 

* the IgnorePaths option of freebsd-update.conf(5) 
 
<https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update.conf&sektion=5&manpath=freebsd-release>

* etcupdate(8) 
 
<https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=etcupdate&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release>.

If you find appealing the controllability/configurability of etcupdate, then
you may prefer to build and install from source; to not rely upon
freebsd-update. 

From the introductory paragraph at
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/#makeworld>: 

>> … complete customization to produce a tailored version of FreeBSD.
