This has taken rather longer than I expected -- I thought I would be at this point in mid-November -- but porting the update-building code to run on FreeBSD 5.x took rather longer than I expected. For details about how to use these updates, please see the FreeBSD Update web site at http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/ A couple notes are in order: First, I am not a FreeBSD committer, and FreeBSD Update is in no way endorsed by the FreeBSD Project or the Security Officer; this is something I'm providing on my own and you should only use these updates if you're willing to trust your systems' security to *me* personally. Second, FreeBSD Update merely tracks the security branches in the FreeBSD CVS repository; consequently, while I am building updates for FreeBSD 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0 and 5.1 (and will start building updates for FreeBSD 5.2 when it is released), the updates for FreeBSD 4.7 and 5.0 may not reflect all existing security issues, since support for those releases has officially ended. Thanks to all the donors who contributed to allow me to purchase the system I'm using to build these updates; in particular, bsdmall.com and the readership of slashdot.jp made large contributions.
