[CDBUG-talk] Port management

[George Georgalis]

I like pkgsrc because of the quarterly release cycles and I can use
the same package system on different operating systems *bsd, linux....

pkg_admin fetch-pkg-vulnerabilities
pkg_admin audit -e
cvs -q upd -dP

binaries are available but I always build locally.
