Having used the binary patches from a couple of security advisories on a 4.3 release system I now find myself pondering what to do next. The issue is that I'm intending to cvsup and I'm not sure how to deal with the patches. I figure I shouldn't run pkg_delete after I upgrade since I'm paranoid I'll delete something I need from the new setup and I'd rather not just leave them sitting around for no reason. That leaves 2 options in my mind, firstly I could run pkg_delete before doing make world etc. or maybe I could just upgrade then manually delete the entries from /var/db/pkg I think I prefer the sound of the latter since it seems the least intrusive and I feel it should reduce the chance or troubles. So, how far off the mark am I? Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
