X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:16:57 -0000 I updated my system from FreeBSD 8.0 to 8.1 using the tool freebsd-update.As far as I know this tool only updates the core system and user land utilities,thus,all other apps are not updated. I use the gnome desktop,and I regularly receive the warning from Software Updater that I have 240,or so,applications not updated etc.,and if I want to update them. My question is: update them through the ports system?(compiling them all?) or binary update? Are there tools capable of doing that using the command line?(binary update of apps not in the core system or userland utilities,but also important regarding security questions,for example).
