And what should it do different? Don't do live builds on a server, the down time is always unpredictable. Using inplace updates still breaks the software for a certain window if successful, and can result in silent breakage being detected much later. That's why I rejected the addition of replace-all recently on tech-pkg. If you want to have consistent updates and a predicatable downtime, build the software in a jail / chroot as binary packages and use those to update. That's also the easiest solution if you want to actually test them before using them in production... Joerg
