dear sir, I copy some content from http://security.freebsd.org/, * FreeBSD-SA-07:05.libarchive.asc * FreeBSD-SA-07:04.file.asc * FreeBSD-SA-07:03.ipv6.asc * FreeBSD-SA-07:02.bind.asc FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE released. * FreeBSD-SA-07:01.jail.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:26.gtar.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:25.kmem.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:24.libarchive.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:22.openssh.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:23.openssl.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:21.gzip.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:20.bind.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:19.openssl.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:18.ppp.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:17.sendmail.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:16.smbfs.asc * FreeBSD-SA-06:15.ypserv.asc FreeBSD 5.5-RELEASE released. Is that mean if I use 5.5-release I need to patch all the patches above and if I use 6.2-release I only need to patch SA-07:05 to SA-07:02 ? Is that right? I also learned from http://security.freebsd.org/patches there two kinds of pathes, SA serial and EN serial, such as SA-07:05/ 12-Jul-2007 15:08 - SA-07:04/ 23-May-2007 16:18 - SA-07:03/ 26-Apr-2007 23:46 - EN-07:05/ 15-Mar-2007 08:10 - EN-07:04/ 28-Feb-2007 18:41 - EN-07:03/ 28-Feb-2007 18:41 - EN-07:02/ 28-Feb-2007 18:40 - EN-07:01/ 14-Feb-2007 22:33 - SA-07:02/ 09-Feb-2007 20:37 - SA-07:01/ 11-Jan-2007 18:36 - what are the differences between them? Thanks for reply.
