well I was thinking either I do binary updates or recompile updates.
My first question started off with can I get security fixes with out
recompiling?.
I knew about upgrade in sysinstall, but the word was that gets the
release specified, not necessarily security fixes.
So then I thought you have to recompile to get updates. But
freebsd-update was then introduced to me. But It complained since we
had to recompile the src for the release (5.1) to get certain features
in the kernel.
So I am still stuck with the question can I get security fixes with
out recompiling?.

I'm trying to make a decision on to either A just always do a cvsup
with RELENG_5_X and make world or B try to pull something together
with freebsd-update.
of course freebsd-update 1.4 gets upset since files were modified, due
to src update and compile.
I could be wrong but I thought the whole idea of FreeBSDUpdate is NOT to
mess with the source. I always thought that the before mentioned
updeated only the binaries.
That being said, and if you did tamper with the source - then cvsup (to
me) is the proper course of action.
