I am afraid of only two things. * upgrade the basejail with FreeBSD upgrades. I am sure this is a simple bit of chroot magic, but freebsd-update is a bit of a black box to me. * nullfs. I've never used it before and need to play with it more As for shell scripts: my only goal in life is to write *fewer* shell scripts. My adoption of saltstack was spurred by shell everywhere, mostly not under version control. So less shell and more python centrally managed and versioned is my dream. > For your problem with installing old versions of packages - I think you are still able to install whatever version you need if you have it locally on disk.

And I need a new package distribution model not based on the standard repo that poudriere makes. Which is why I started this whole exploration. Thanks for your ideas. I should be less afraid of letting go of the jail management tools.
