I understand it is adviced to check /usr/ports/UPDATING to see if any package needs special attention when updating it. The thing is, /usr/ports/UPDATING is basicly a huge textfile, with a lot of information. And humans (myself in particular ) are not your best choice to process huge piles of information. It's easy to miss something important.
I was wondering if there is an easier way to check this information. Maybe some tool that crawls through this file, compares it to the ports that need updating and only shows the relevant information?
