Forgot to address that part ...

I have wrote verimg(8) because I need to build custom images in predictable=
 and flexible way  ... if 'generic' images from FTP would suit me - I would=
 use them and would not write the tool. Its not verimg(8) target to 'clone'=
 the 'release.sh' with hashes or anything. The task of verimg(8) is to prov=
ide reliable/easy/fast interface for creating PKGBASE FreeBSD images from p=
kg(8) repos that are already available - often custom ones - with custom ne=
eds.

Hope that help.
