Nice to hear and really happy that pkgng while still be highly experimental works so good on your case. Now that you have become our larger tester, feedback are really welcome:=20 - bug reports, - features resquest, - documentation :D I may recommand you to well test your upgrades before deploying them. Upgra= de process has to be refactor because it works but have some rough edges. I use exclusively pkgng on my boxes (only 4 sorry :)) for weeks now without major problem that can't be fixed. We are also interested in the procedures, I mean the way you build the pack= ages and the way you deploy them, I may have some things to point you to that can help you managing your servers using pkgng :) http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/pkgng https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng irc://#pkgng@freenode regards, Bapt --r5Pyd7+fXNt84Ff3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk5wXgYACgkQ8kTtMUmk6Ew1rwCghlr04irJGeq3/voxVVF85caH 3IQAoL8lW4bBJ6GGqYQPac/O5vvwP4/m =PZM7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --r5Pyd7+fXNt84Ff3--
