If you have source code installed (for the right version of FreeBSD) in /usr/src, then freebsd-update will keep it updated. (Slight complication: Because freebsd-update builds are normally done before patches are committed to SVN, you won't get the updated SVN revision numbers or the new entries in UPDATING via freebsd-update -- but you will get all of the security/errata fixes.) -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
