I'd like to write ports that would install scripts local to my site such that multiple hosts can cvsup our "local tree" and then be able to install/uninstall using things like 'portupgrade'. These would be ports that only we would be interested in. Gentoo has the portage overlay feature: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=5#doc_chap2 Does anyone know how FreeBSD may accomplish this? I've thought about creating my own ports mirror and then including my ports in something like /usr/ports/mysite (or /usr/ports/misc). Has anyone tried this? -- Ian Tegebo
