Hi, I'm looking for a way to update in a secure manner my kernel, binaries and anything from the ports collection. I'm thinking of updating kernel and binaries with patches form ftp.freebsd.org which are siganed with the PGP key of the security officers. However, this has to be hand-made patching. Does anyone know a secure way via for example cvsup ? Also, I'm looking for a secure way to update ports applications. How can I check that patches for ports doesn't contain any trojans for example, or are coming from the original source. Any thoughts about his ? Thanks in advance.
