Hi , For keep up to date FreeBSD I think all people are using source update method ( When I sent a message to list almost everybody adviced this ) Only one person said that binary update but this is not recommanded because compiled version always work better and I saw that compile update program is not working quickly because Colin Percival waiting lest version .... I'm just wonder Why patching is not used instead of source update.. it's patching source tree too for security bugs ... I checking output of the cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile command . it's only download openssh , bind and like this almost what writen in security advisories . if you said soruce-update method more then security update Thats Okey . But I want to know or understand if I don't want to use new features and only interest with security updates ( patch updates ) Why patches does not enough ?! Vahric
