All entries since 4.8 are an itemized list of commits to this branch, numbered from the beginning. The security advisories related to various patches contain information on how to build/install a minimal set of binaries and start/stop a minimal number of processes, if possible, for that patch.

The problem could be that I have old sources/libraries somewhere; I will try the same procedure on other machines. However, in my experience, FreeBSD PRs, like that quoted by Mr Strauss, tend to be accurate. > > Cheers, Luca > Yours sincerely. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley Hopcroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------ '...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
