Not quite - it means that your sources would be up-to-date. You'd still have to build and install the updated code.

So running my sample CVSup supfile would not patch my system for the security advisories from SA-03:08 - SA-0318(as of 10/19/03)? I'm under the impression this supfile would take care of security advisories, being that I'm updating the /usr directory. For everything to take in effect I must build and install my kernel as well? I'm looking through the FreeBSD Handbook and I don't
see this extra step.


Thank You
