Description

It would be very helpful if the ”System Information” widget could indicate if packages need to be updated. Currently it displays “The system is on the latest version.” which only refers to the pfsense base system. One has to manually check the installed packages, which is easy forgotten and package upgrades can be missed.

Suggestion: A 2nd line below the green line and the string “Version information updated…” with “Package upgrades available…[link-to-packages]” or “All packages are on the latest version”.

Furthermore, it would be nice if pfsense could send an email if either the base system or a package needs upgrading. So the user is aware of a possible upgrade without requiring logging into the GUI regularly.
