I ran a portsupgrade scan, and was presented with a long list of installed ports and whether an update was available. In general, I prefer not to update ports/packages between FreeBSD releases. An obvious exception to this general rules is the patching of security vulnerabilities; of course not all available updates are security fixes. So my question is: how or where can I monitor security vulnerabilities? Or, how can I keep my system up-to-date with respect to security, without applying every non-security update? Thanks, Daniel
