Hellow,

I just installed 4.4 Release. Since this version has been out for a while, I wish to patch all security problems that have been discovered since release date and now. But I don't want to add any other ports/packages.

How can I "fully" patch my system without upgrading any other ports/packages?

That is, I want to add ***all and only*** security fixes to my system; how can do that efficiently?

TIA,

vberic

PS--I am aware that some problems can be fixed only by upgrading to 4.5, e.g., stdio. I just want to patch 4.4.
