On december 25th, I released a "first draft" of a binary security update tool aimed at allowing people to track the security branches without keeping a source tree or recompiling; the response was generally positive, but as I pointed out in my announcement, there were several problems which needed to be fixed. I'm just about finished fixing up all those details, and I intend to release a new version soon and start publishing the necessary updates for i386 4.8-RELEASE when it comes out (not that I expect 4.8-RELEASE to include any security holes, of course ;). These would, of course, be freely available (although I might ask for donations to cover bandwidth costs if I get lots of traffic). Would any FreeBSD developer(s) be willing to help me with this? I'd very much like to have at least one person look over my code and give it some sort of "stamp of approval"; both for my own peace of mind and to make people feel more happy about using it.
