Three weeks ago I posted notification of my article Keeping FreeBSD Up-To-Date. Today I am happy to announce the publication at TaoSecurity.com of Keeping FreeBSD Applications Up-To-Date: http://www.taosecurity.com/keeping_freebsd_applications_up-to-date.html The new article takes the same case-based approach I used in the first paper. The article's sections include: - Introduction - Installation Using Source Code - Installation Using the FreeBSD Ports Tree - Installation Using Precompiled Packages - Updating Applications Installed from Source Code - Updating Packages by Deletion and Addition - Updating the Ports Tree, Part 1 - Manually Updating a Package Using the Ports Tree - Updating Packages with Portupgrade, Part 1 - Updating Packages with Portupgrade, Part 2 - Updating the Ports Tree, Part 2 - My Common Package Update Process - Creating Packages on One System and Installing Them Elsewhere - Addressing Security Issues in Packages - Conclusion - Acknowledgements - References Sections show commands to run, explanations of what they do, sample output, applications versions, and pros and cons of each upgrade method. Please send feedback to taosecurity at gmail dot com. Thank you, Richard Bejtlich
