Is there a security branch for the FreeBSD ports collection? Let's say,
I installed FreeBSD 6.0 together with all needed -RELEASE
ports/packages. Running security/portaudit after a while reveals that
some of the installed packages have vulnerabilities. Am I on my own to
go grab the fresh ports tree, and upgrade the affected software,
suffering all the intricacies of the move by myself? Debian GNU/Linux
has its security package updates, OpenBSD has a separately maintained
"errata" ports branch (you still get to download a newer release of the
software, though (IIRC)).
