I had some problems with the cvsup(that update.sh script) but finally it worked. After the make buildworld & installworld and buildkernel & installkernel I had to problems: 1. all the ports worked without a glich. Anyway do I have to recompile them in order for the changes to take place. For instance the bufferoverflows in OpenSSL - the system doesn't have them anymore but what about apache/php for example. I'm also watching the upgrade from a practical point of view of a sysadmin: say a bug which involves making world (such as the OpenSSL) appears and you have a production server full of mysql and others servers/ports. What do you guys do? And one other problem - I found out that the kernel optimized for my machine made using the 'new way' (handbook quote): is about 4Mb(bigger then the GENERIC one which has more than 20 more options) while build using the 'old way' (i.e. config/make depend/make/make install) is far more little (1.8Mb). I read in the manual that on a system without the cvs sources the ONLY way to do this is by the 'old way'. What's the catch? Why the 'new way' kernel is so much bigger?
