Greetings. I'm looking for a little guidance in building a small (one to two dozen) packages for inclusion on a locally generated install CDROM. (I'm doing this on for sparc64 machines, but I don't think that matters tremendously.) I have successfully generated bootable cd-rom media by doing: cd /usr/src/release make release After grinding around alot, I get a viable sparc64 bootable cdrom. What I'd like to do is augement that CD-ROM image with several binary packages, so I can just install them via 'sysinstall', rather than having to maintain a /usr/ports tree on every host and compile the same software again and again... I've found: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng-packages/article.html and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/portbuild/article.html But those seem to revolve around building *all* the ports. I just want to do a couple of dozen of them, but I'd like to end up with something that will generate binary packages that 'pkg install' can deal with. Thanks for any tips. -Kurt
