All you need to do is cvsup to the head of the RELENG_4_10 branch, and compile and install using that code. =20 > I would like to know the steps necessary for appling the changes in=20 > RELENG_4_10.

That includes all of the patches included in the various security advisories issued by the FreeBSD project. To get a newly installed system up to the latest patch level, using cvsup and doing a complete buildworld cycle is your best bet. For any further Errata or Security Advisories, you can always do another buildworld cycle, or there will usually be instructions in the advisory on how to just recompile only the affected bits. If you go the whole 'buildworld' route each time, the uname(1) output will show the patchlevel of the system: currently that's 4.10-RELEASE-p2 after the release of FreeBSD-SA-04:13 on June 30th. Instructions on how to do a buildworld can be found in: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html and also be sure to read /usr/src/UPDATING after cvsup'ing to see if there are any special instructions. =20 > My stable-subfile: > *default host=3Dcvsup12.freebsd.org > *default base=3D/usr > *default prefix=3D/usr > *default release=3Dcvs tag=3DRELENG_4_10 > *default delete use-rel-suffix > src-all That looks fine to me.
