Hi Justin: Thats an awesome initiative from your side. If one is working with a daily snapshot version, what is the recommended way to pull in binary packages eg. editor, debugger, irc client etc ? or is it like, lets say i'm using 20091015 snapshot and since 2.4.1 was released on 20090930, hence one can use binary packages for 2.4 ? i'm leaning towards asking if there is something like a 'current' binary pkgsrc build envisaged or one should pull in the pkgsrc-2009Q3 meta package (FreeBSD ports of Gentoo portage like) and compile out the stuff one needs. thanks Saifi.
