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?
