I think I won't if the directory is a well-known one... But I buy your "blur the distinction between base system and local extension" :-) > Back to the given example of mounting ports into multiple jails, > wouldn't you normally have the ports tree only in one jail and use that > for all building? The dinoex scripts come to my mind. This seems to be true only when the jail is provided for one single administrator. For a virtual hosting environment, you will want to run different OS versions inside jail (the development hosting box runs FreeBSD 6.0, 5.4, 5.3, 4.11 and 4.8 inside different jails), and just let the users to choose which application they want. Of course this needs some tricks like WRKDIRPREFIX tweaking inside every jails, and FETCH_CMD to point a hook that fetches all distfiles on behalf of the user, with all read-only ports tree. I will think about other solutions of the usr/ports handling, then. Thanks for the input!
