kris> Except security patches aren't listed there. Those are kris> catalogued in security advisories which may be found in a number kris> of places: so far there haven't been any against 4.3. It is absolutely right, but I don't think current situation is not good, if we want to check 'are there any (security) patches are available for release which I'm now using?" <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/security/>; describes only "what SAs are available today." It doesn't mension that which SAs are for 4.3-RELEASE (or any releases or stables). Each user checks each SA, and decide that which SAs can be applied to their systems. Does anybody make a script that parse each SAs 'Affects:' line, and make a HTML (or SGML) table just like (or something like): - for 4.3-RELEASE (nothing) - for 4.2-STABLE/4.3-RC SA-01:39 SA-01:32 ... It would be also nice that 'core' SAs and 'pors' SAs are separetely listed, since 'core' SAs are affected to all users, but 'ports' SAs are affected to some users which uses affected ports. -- - Makoto `MAR' MATSUSHITA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
