Hi, is there a tool, like portaudit for the ports tree, to track updates and/or vulnerabilities for the base system and the kernel? What I'm looking for is a tool that will check my current installation against a specific checkout of the CVS source and kernel trees considering a specific CVS tag and inform me where my system is outdated and vulnerable. I don't know if this is even possible by just having the CVS trees ... For the kernel, is there something like a linear version number in the -STABLE branches? I noticed there's a pX in the kernel version for release kernels. How do I for example compare the currentness of two 7.0-STABLE kernels if I don't know from what source they were build? Cheers, Anselm
