System: 4.2-Release. I have a cron that uses cvsup to pull the stable source tree nightly. When an advisory comes out (such as the recent Kerberos IV), I just rebuild the appropriate components: # cd /usr/src/kerberosIV # make depend && make all install # cd /usr/src/libexec/telnetd # make depend && make all install Since I have updated sources, these builds should be adequate, correct? Is this a safe way to stay current? Will I run into odd dependency issues because I'm not rebuilding the entire system at once, or is keeping current with cvsup essentially the same as applying the indicated patches in advisories?
