I'm just wonder Why patching is not used instead of source update.. it's patching source tree too for security bugs ... I checking output of the cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile command . it's only download openssh , bind and like this almost what writen in security advisories . if you said soruce-update method more then security update Thats Okey . But I want to know or understand if I don't want to use new features and only interest with security updates ( patch updates ) Why patches does not enough ?! Vahric
