Hey,

I was reading this security advisorie:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-02:43.bind.asc

At the end of the file you can read for example this information:
src/contrib/bind/CHANGES
  RELENG_4                                                    1.1.1.7.2.8
  RELENG_4_7                                              1.1.1.7.2.7.2.1
  RELENG_4_6                                              1.1.1.7.2.6.2.2
  RELENG_4_5                                              1.1.1.7.2.4.4.2
  RELENG_4_4                                              1.1.1.7.2.4.2.2
src/contrib/bind/bin/named/db_defs.h
  RELENG_4                                                    1.1.1.2.2.6
  RELENG_4_7                                              1.1.1.2.2.5.2.1
  RELENG_4_6                                              1.1.1.2.2.4.2.2
  RELENG_4_5                                              1.1.1.2.2.3.4.2
  RELENG_4_4                                              1.1.1.2.2.3.2.2
etc...
I'm using 4.7-Release and I was wondering if my sources where uptodate! I
looked at my /usr/src/contrib/bind... files but I could not find any kind of
"Revision" numbers for example db_defs.h started with:
 *      from db.h       4.16 (Berkeley) 6/1/90
 *      $Id: db_defs.h,v 8.47 2002/05/18 01:02:53 marka Exp $
 */
There were no "revision" annotations anywhere in the file:

How do you find out if you have the correct sources of the files before
recompiling and installing?

Thanks a lot
Didier
