BTW: You need /usr/src available for the creation of the package. Preferably matching the kernel you want to install it.. I do this regularly (but without VIMAGE) in a jail where I build all my packages. ("make install" and "pkg create" in a script) I do all updates from source. I only update kernel, user land and ports when security is at risk. Usually independent from each other. But VirtualBox is an exception. I update kernel and VirtualBox at the same time. I was not brave enough to enable VIMAGE and VirtualBox on the same server. But I may do that soon. I plan a major reconfiguration ca. end of the year. I hope it is stable enough. Regards Peter
