Good day. A while ago I had created the new utility that serves as VuXML filter for the installed packages: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/126853
My primary intention was to speed up the process of auditing the vulnerable ports: I needed to run portaudit checks with Nagios and to avoid large timeouts. The new utility is called pkg_audit and it serves as a simple text filter: on input it takes the full VuXML feed and on output it puts VuXML entries that matches ports that are installed in the system with port version specification substituted with the actual port versions. No harm is done to the actual poartudit -- if pkg_audit is missing, old code path is activated. If someone is interested and will be able to test -- I am all ears.
