Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
portaudit provides a system to check if installed ports are listed in a database of published security vulnerabilities. After installation it will update this security database automatically and include its reports in the output of the daily security run. If you have found a vulnerability not listed in the database, please contact the FreeBSD Security Officer <security-officer@FreeBSD.org>. Refer to http://www.freebsd.org/security/#sec for more information. WWW: http://people.freebsd.org/~eik/portaudit/ Oliver Eikemeier <eik@FreeBSD.org>

Avoid unnecessary invocations of pkg_info by checking whether the
package is installed or not using a precalculated regex.

This speeds up "portaudit -a" with around a factor of 10.

The change is slightly modified from the one from the PR by using
pkg_info -aE instead of ls /var/db/pkg for determining installed
packages.

Grab maintainer-ship of portaudit.  While I do not currently have any

too important to not have an active maintainer.

- update to version 0.5

*** NOTE ***

The preferences file format has changed, as have the periodic.conf(5) names.
Normally the default settings should be adequate, except when you need to
configure a proxy. Use $PREFIX/etc/portaudit.conf.sample as an example.

- moved portaudit to sbin
- clean up, merging stuff into the portaudit script
- better return codes and errors to stderr
- -f can check stdin now
- dropped ports tree auditing
- merged the periodic(8) scripts into one
- run daily auditing as `nobody'

Update to 0.3.
Since we are using the official VuXML database
the auditing should be pretty complete.

- mention web page
- add more mirrors, disabling .ru mirror (too much lag)
- allow combined options in portaudit shell script
- add sample configuration file
- use absolute paths for binaries, to ease use in crontab scripts [1]
- correct type in man page [2]

Disable auditfile.txt until we decide on a database format,
two databases cause more confusion than it is worth.

portaudit uses ports/security/vuxml/vuln.xml in the meantime,
please commit your changes there and send feedback wich format
you prefer.

Currently we have to migrate gnats, mailman, monkey and some
apache versions.

portaudit provides a list of published security vulnerabilities
of FreeBSD ports and tools to check if installed ports are listed.

Since this is a prerelease version, it is mostly usable for
committers that want to contribute to the project, and can currently
not be relied upon as an extensive security auditing tool.
