I'm new here, and I've been lurking to look for answers. You seem like a friendly bunch, so I'll ask my question.I don't think it's necessary to recompile the whole world if you're just worried about a security hole with one small portion.
It appears that there are two strategies for updating FreeBSD systems:
* cvsup the latest STABLE release on a regular basis
* get the CD release (4.6, 4.7, etc) snapshots periodically and update from that either with binaries or compiled from source
I am curious about what most people do. For a server where stability is important, I obviously don't want to buildworld once a week, but it is also important to keep on top of bug reports and security holes.
Just recompile/install that part. Unless it's a big change, it shouldn't cause any problems.
