However, since this started I set up cvsup on client systems where security was critical and started tracking it. I built what will be effectively 2.1.7 with the major security patches within hours of their being committed to the source tree. So, it really doesn't require a "release" to obtain the sources - just set up CVSUP and go. > Once one retrieves the source, would be it sufficient to replace merely > /usr/lib, /usr/libexec, /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, /sbin, and the kernel > sources?
