Hello!
I know this has been brought up a number of times
and I doubt that it is the right place to post to
or even a right subject to raise, but still.
It seems we lack some update system in FreeBSD. I
have only 2 freebsd boxes, one serving as an
internet gateway for the other. And whenever I want
to update the latter one, I think about all the
traffic that I'm gonna waste and CPU time to build
and my own time to get some distros from one machine
to another.
I dream about a server running on my main machine,
which gets queries from intranet freebsd boxes that
want to be updated. The server negotiates with each
client and acts as requested:
1.1) fetches a binary package, or
1.2) fetches a source package, or
1.3) finds a binary/source in its cache, and
2) builds a package if needed, and
3) gives binary/source to the client
Is that so difficult? C'mon guys, just one step
forward to perfection :)
Very best wishes,
Andrew P.
P.S.: M$ SUS 1.x sucks so hard that I can't even
find the right words to describe it. Sorry :)
