Maybe its a little early in the life of DF pkgsrc to think of this, but has anyone considering hooking up the kernel/userland build process so that the kernel and userland binaries are under the binary package control of the pkgsrc pkg_* utilities?
I'm not sure quite how this would work and what the size of the packages would be? would /bin/* be in a bin-x.x.x package or /bin/ls be ls-x.x.x? The latter (lots of little packages) would allow easier updating of the system, since you would only have to install ls-x.x.1 to fix the bug in ls-x.x.0, but you would probably end up with too many packages. Alternatively you could use a binary patch on the bin-x.x.x package. Something which was as powerful (or more powerful) than the Debian binary packages would be highly cool. Cheers Steve
