I=92ve not yet come up with a particularly clean way to do that within Crochet, but there are a few ideas I=92ve not yet tried. It does occur to me that at some point crochet is trying to do package management and maybe that=92s a bad thing. But here=92s an idea that might get exactly that: I=92ve considered literally building board images as ports/packages. E.g., $ cd /usr/ports/freebsd/raspberry-pi $ make ... builds/installs python, gsed, boot bits, etc as necessary via port = dependencies ... builds world/kernel (using non-root path=85) $ sudo make install ... creates disk image and installs world/kernel/boot bits I don=92t think this actually requires much effort to get this working, and it would have some interesting side-effects (like having RPi images spit out regularly by the package cluster). Cheers, Tim
