Hi,
freebsd-update helps me update base system,
portaudit(1) reminds me everyday about security vulnerabilities in
ports/packages and thanks to portupgrade(1),
I keep them up to date.
Quite often I build packages or use packages whenever available and
share (NFS) them with my other boxes.
Although building and "deploying" packages can be fairly simple,
due to dependencies, slow network connections, hw problems or just
slow machine it takes a while.
What would really help me is if latest - updated packages could be
available more often.
How porters decide which package should be updated and available as package?
Is there anything what can I do to help updating latest packages?
Thanks,
Paul

You could donate more/better machines to do the package builds. :) It
takes a long time to build packages for over 20K ports. Packaging also
depends on licensing, some things are not allowed to be distributed as
binary packages.
