--- Comment #6 from Leo Bicknell <bicknell@ufp.org> ---
> Maybe more relevant to focus on the version of FreeBSD. For example:

I'm not sure that addresses my concern, but perhaps my concern isn't valid?

The scenario I run into from time to time is:

- Install everything I need from packages.
- Discover 1 package was built with compile time flags different than I nee=
d.
- Rebuild that singular package from ports with the changed options.

What I am trying to do as a result is make sure the port I build is the "sa=
me"
as
the package one in terms of patches and the like.  And, then when an upgrade
cycle comes I generally upgrade the packages and then have to rebuild the o=
ne=20
singular port.

I feel like that might be a common scenario, but perhaps not.  In any event=
 I'm=20
simply trying to make sure I'm all in sync, ideally programatically.

In the "a sysadmin can dream" category, I would love a world where I could =
tell
pkg "xyz from ports with options MAKEOPT=3DFOO" and then "pkg install" all =
the
normal
packages and have it build xyz from the ports when I tell it to install that
package,
and similarly do the same when I upgrade.  Basically turn them into one
seamless
bucket of software with the ability to pick and choose in a config file whi=
ch
comes
from where.
