I will be looing at it more later today. Is the text describing the system on the homepage and in the .tar.gz up to date? > http://www.freebsd.org/projects/updater.html I have read that page.

BabelTech have made an update system for the products the company makes. It is currently closed source and contains some parts that would most likely not be useful for a general updater. I'm going to see if there are parts of the BabelTech updater that looks like it could be used in the binary updater and if that is the case the company will properly release those parts under a BSD licens (or something like that). No guarantees or anyting like that but I will be looking in to it. Simon No GPG signature since my GPG key is only at my home computer....
