But try to avoid both if at all possible. jail(8) is my go-to for most things they try to facilitate. While this isn't the simple "set it, and forget it" solution you seek. I find that picking a meta-port/package as part of something I'm installing, gets me pretty close to all I need. The key to my method is the "recursive" keyword. IOW # cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg/ # make config-recursive (repeat this until dialog stops appearing) When complete # make package-recursive (install) clean If I'm in my build jail and have a /usr/ports/packages/(All|latest) I (ultimately) end up with a nice package repo that facilitates an image install or upgrade path from a fresh install.
