=46or the record: It would not be a problem at all, at least in this=20
particular case: You=E2=80=99re only patching and reinstalling bzip2, which=
=20
hasn=E2=80=99t had a commit for ages except this one security patch.

See: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/bzip2/

You=E2=80=99re not touching any other system component, so the date of your=
=20
/usr/src checkout is not an issue. You could even csup the most recent=20
version instead of applying the patch manually and then recompile bzip2=20
only.

Cheers,
Pascal
