freebsd-update provides binary updates for the OS. portmaster can do binary-only updates for ports (and can even run without /usr/ports installed). Same with portupgrade. And if you really don't want to use the ports tree, there's pkg_upgrade (part of the bsdadminscripts port). IOW, if you don't want to compile things on FreeBSD, you don't have to. :) -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
