These are probably RTFM questions, but I didn't seem to find a mention of the base system packages in the UPGRADING document. So how would one update a base package, check it out of CVS and just compile/install like normal? Should upgrading the entire system become a necessity (say 4.10 to 4.11), would a reboot be *absolutely* necessary? Final question :-), is there anyway to determine if a base package is out of date? Or is just wise to leave the base alone and upgrade when a new release comes along.
