best way to update my system?

[Anthony Philipp]

Hello all,
i recently updated my laptop by using cvsup to download the latest 5.2.1 + patches 
source, and the did all the steps to make world. it works fine, but is there another 
way which takes less time, to update my laptop? what i would really like is a way to 
cvsup the security patches, and just build those and then just install those, that way 
i dont have to worry about a new kernel or anything. right now my cvsup file reads 
*default tag=RELENG_5_2 if i changed to RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE would that just give me 
the patches to 5.2.1? if patching by source doesnt work this way is there a way to use 
binary patches? 
well thank you for the help
anthony

Yes, have a look at ports/security/freebsd-update

I don't know, though, whether it works after you have used the source
method to update your system. I know that it used to not work, but
I remember that something has changed.
