portaudit gives me alerts when security issues arise in installed ports,
and portversion keeps me abreast of less critical updates. It's a whole
lot easier than the old situation of tracking the security lists every
day.
Is there a comparably easy way to track available and critical upgrades
for the FreeBSD core?
It'd be nice if the nightly reports would just tell me if a new patch
comes available for the particular RELENG_X_Y branch that I'm on,
preferably with just a little info to help me assess how rapidly I need to
respond.
Are there tools for this?
