Hi all, I have a FreeBSD box and I=92d like to know the pros and cons of the =20 base system maintenance using the sources vs freebsd-update. At this time, I=92m using cvsup, following the steps described in the =20= handbook <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/=20 cutting-edge.html> and it works fine, but I=92m curious about the =20 possible advantages of freebsd-update, in particular the rollback =20 feature. Is freebsd-update a better way to keep your system up to date? Should =20= I stick with the source approach? Thank you in advance -- Giorgio Valoti
