getting alerts about system upgrades




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?
