I don't know exactly what is in the binary and man dists, but what you =20 need to do is either to just grab the new dists from an FTP server and =20 extract them over the old ones, or to have a look what is installed by =20 a make world what is not in those dists and have a look for WITHOUT_ =20 knobs which exclude those parts from the build/install. There may be =20 not enough WITHOU_ knobs to produce those dists, as they are generated =20 in a different way (make release).
