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?

Andrew
