Or you can use pkg_version's -t flag to help with the comparisons if you think running as a separate script is better. > NetBSD have a port called audit-packages which does something similar, > but not quite the same as the above (last I checked) -- it might still > be useful as a starting point. Think about where to put the parsed set of vulnerable packages. It might live under /usr/ports or reside somewhere on the network. Use fetch(1) to grab it from there, like pkg_version does for the INDEX file. Bruce. PS. Jeff Kletsky, sorry I haven't looked at your dependency graphing tool...I'm mildly thrashing right now.
