I take this to mean that 5.2.1 is an long way off from moving to the stable branch. Are you in the inter-circle that authorizes the movement of development branch versions to stable branch? Just what is the time line for 4.x stable versions and the 5.x development versions? Sure would like an idea of the future so I can plan the upgrade time line for my environment. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Matthew Seaman Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 12:24 PM To: fbsd_user Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: latest security advisory and 5.1R On Wed, Mar 03, 2004 at 11:54:22AM -0500, fbsd_user wrote: > Are the security advisory fixes rolled into the .iso ftp download > images? No -- the iso images are produced at release time and not altered after that. However, binary patches are being produced by Colin Percival's FreeBSD-update service -- see his site at http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/ -- which will apply to systems installed from the release media. The fixes will certainly be in the next release, which I think is going to be 4.10, but that's some time in the future.
