See http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/FreeBSD-Unofficial-Packages for instructions on how to use this. How do these differ from the official packages? 1) We're building packages for 9.1 all the way back to 7.2. 2) We're constantly grabbing new versions of ports and rebuilding as fast as the builders can go. Our goal is to rebuild the latest version (9.1 right now) in both amd64 and i386 every 24 hours, and all other versions every 7 days. 3) We're leaving up old versions (in the All directory) of everything, so you can grab older versions if we have them. 4) We're building everything twice, one by default and one a special internal-use version that has X11, examples, debugging and a few other features shut off. If the port can't be built without those features, it just gets skipped. (This may not be of use to anyone other than us) 5) We're building packages for i386, amd64, ia64, and have the hardware in house to build for PPC, ARM and sparc64 if anyone asks for it. (As of this writing, our ia64 box just started building things, and looks like it'll take another 5+ days to finish. If you need ia64, give it a few days.) Feel free to contact me with any questions, or suggestions for how this might be more useful to you. If you could actually use this on any other release or architecture that isn't currently listed, please let me know. If there's anyone out there that would prefer pkgng instead of the old style packages, we might be able to get those going too.

If FreeBSD core is interested in OpenRC, feel free to contact the OpenRC and/or the Gentoo FreeBSD developers. We would all love to see OpenRC in upstream FreeBSD. Replacing rc(8) has a lot of risks and not many benefits. Current system is somewhat limited, but it works, it's simple to understand and everyone already knows it and uses it. Solaris SMF is by far the most advanced bootup/service manager I've come across, even though it's UI is somewhat irritating. When configured correctly, you can trust SMF to deal with any problem; when a needed resource for a given service is down, that service isn't started. When the service is malfunctioning, it's restarted at a configured interval or marked as malfunctioning and stopped and admin is contacted. And so forth. Faster boot times come as a simple added bonus from proper design. Anyone serious about replacing rc(8) should take a good look at SMF feature list, then decide if such a thing is worth spending time reimplementing. Doing a dozen half-assed implementations like Linux is doing is just dumb and aggravates sysadmins.

Both reasonably large effort-wise (but probably within the scope of a single developer with sufficient time). No... you're so far off the mark it's not even funny, especially when it's been repeatedly pointed out to you. This is not a file system, it's a backup system. It's not designed to survive a disk crash or an accidental file deletion, it's designed to survive a direct missile strike on your colo center. To quote Wikipedia, CDP is a service that captures changes to data to a separate storage location - emphasis on separate. FWIW, the HAMMER file system _does_ support replication to remote targets (thus separate). Unfortunately they call this feature mirroring, which is misleading at best. It's really rather a replication mechanism, much like the binlog of MySQL. It can be used for various purposes, including live mirroring, delayed mirroring, archiving, backup and point-in-time recovery. Well, of course, all of that doesn't help us at all because HAMMER doesn't exist on FreeBSD. However, ZFS does exist on FreeBSD, and I think it wouldn't be impossible to add similar features to ZFS. Another possibility would be to extend gjournal by adding time stamps to journal transactions and a possibility to feed the journal to a pipe, socket or whatever. And of course a client-side implementation that does something useful with the journal stream. This might even be a good SoC project. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co.
