I have some doubts about binary upgrade packages that have being released for the base system due to security fixes, and until now I couldn't get the answer from documentation... For instance, suppose we have two hipothetical advisories #102 and #105, with their respective binary upgrade packages, and due to the problem, both replaces same file, /usr/lib/somelib.so, but #102 also replaces other files that #105 does not and so on... Suppose that at a first time, I installed just patch-something-105.tgz, will applied /usr/lib/somelib.so file also incorporate fix #102 ? At a second time time, I install a optional component/set/feature that I didn't need before. Since this optional component had some announced bugs, I needed install patch-something-102.tgz. Conclusion (but still a question): Will we need to retrieve and install the complete sequence of binary upgrades no matter about not used features ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marcio d'Avila Scheibler - Divisao de Suporte (marcio@cpd.ufsm.br) Centro de Processamento de Dados - Campus Universitario - CEP 97105-900 Universidade Federal de Santa Maria - RS - Brasil ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
