In my career I've written 4 build systems that all do some variation of buildworld/kernel + poudriere + create ISO + create updates. I'm sure plenty of other FreeBSD consumers have done the same, and frankly its getting old. At least now I'm down to poudriere + create ISO only. And my sympathies to anybody still having to use freebsd-update as part of their custom updating process 😉 -- Kris Moore Vice President of Engineering iXsystems, Inc Ph: (408) 943-4100 Ph: (408) 943-4101 The Groundbreaking TrueNAS M-Series - Enterprise Storage & Servers Driven By Open Source
