I'm evaluating portmaster: I cannot find an option to use pre-built packages for upgrading. My usage-pattern for ports is to build the packages I need (eventually with the non-default options I use) on a dev machine (plenty of CPU/memory), and then to deploy the upgrades via "portupgrade -P" on production servers where the downtime of the services must be as short as possible. Always rebuilding from source is sub-optimal in this case, also because of the total time for upgrading multiple times the same ports. I started using portmaster -g on the build machine, but what could I use for binary upgrades on the production servers? Thanks, Angelo Turetta Modena - Italy
