Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [ticket:43291 jul_bsd@…]:
 > My wishlist
 > - port selfupdate and sync would notify user that there are some
 security/reliability update pending, eventually listing them

 Where and in what format would you propose that we store this information?
 This also presupposes that the persons updating ports are aware of when an
 update is a security update and when it is not; this is probably not
 always the case. A lot of maintainers such as myself probably just use
 `port livecheck` to find new versions, and update the port to that
 version, without much further investigation.

 > - have a /security/ webpage which lists updates in this category,
 possibly w a RSS feed

 This presupposes that we have the above information about what updates
 were security updates.
