It works well, and is not difficult. I've been using FreeBSD since the summer of 2005, I still have the first cd-r I used. The fact that it's so easy makes me wonder why it hasn't been done yet. It's been almost five months. I used the repository, but I'm working on my own now that I have plenty of ram to do it. In the time since then, every FreeBSD machine could have updated from source the base and all packages. The ports tree is still updated, the source tree is still updated, so both should be presumed to be safe. Recently the FreeBSD website had some downtime from using -CURRENT, and apache hasn't been taken offline for five months, and aren't those two things all you really need to distribute ports? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Agreed; that's why I haven't attempted to do so. Also, I only build packages for the 600 or so packages in which I am interested, and only for the FreeBSD version in use, and only for the specific CPU architecture.

I've got poudriere up and running to simplify things for me now, but with the collective knowledge and willpower of the FreeBSD project, I'm surprised it's taken so long. I understand securing a server isn't trivial, but after five months, there's nothing public about how long it will take or why it's taken so long. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

They will come back.
For those who might be interested in an interim solution, we've set up
an unofficial but public pkgng format repository at
http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/pkgng
To use these packages, just set your PACKAGESITE variable in
/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf like so,
PACKAGESITE : http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/pkgng/${ABI}/latest
These have FreeBSD 8, 9 and 10, i386 and amd64 kernel pkgng format packages
for the whole ports tree, build failures notwithstanding.
You'll have to explicitly make the decision to trust or not these
builds, of course, but all are welcome to use them until the official
ones are available.
