Hi Adam, That's the thing, when you build and install from source you really are stuck with having to track all of that manually. The only way you can be sure you've got all the needed fixes is to look at your source release date, and then apply all the patches that come out afterward. Once you've patched your source directory, you can then build your binaries/libs/etc again and reinstall. That's the only way I know to be sure your source built components have all the fixes. At least, that's the best I can come up with.

I thought about that but didn't want to get into the position where I was installing updates that I didn't have installed or missing updates that I thought I wasn't using but in fact was.
