I can't really find any. This document, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/index.html Says they exist, but I can't seem to find them. I remember list discussions with people working on them participating, but can't find a anything too specific in list archives at the moment. Are there binary patches? Is the binary patch project alive? The lack of information about binary patches in security advisories leads me to believe if something does exist, it's not really ready for primetime yet? -- Crist J.
