Is there a security branch for the FreeBSD ports collection? Let's say, I installed FreeBSD 6.0 together with all needed -RELEASE ports/packages. Running security/portaudit after a while reveals that some of the installed packages have vulnerabilities. Am I on my own to go grab the fresh ports tree, and upgrade the affected software, suffering all the intricacies of the move by myself? Debian GNU/Linux has its security package updates, OpenBSD has a separately maintained "errata" ports branch (you still get to download a newer release of the software, though (IIRC)).
