Following the "latest" in my package settings, I have noticed that Firefox, just as an example, got updated to 106.0.2 on Tue Oct 25 19:52:18 2022 +0200 Now, five days later, Firefox in packages has still not been upgraded, and it is running 106.0.1. I know that in this example, it's not an important update, but as I understand it, the FreeBSD build machines are running Poudriere and as such, packages get updated automatically. Why doesn't this happen more often? And what if there is a security issue? Is it then following the same "slow" process? Thanks. Kind regards.
