If you find this > tempting, I would like to help with developement. This is basically what I had thought of (and outlined in my binup document). I prefer postgresql but that mainly a matter of taste :). The more complicated part is (as I see it) handling updates between major/minor versions (4.7 -> 4.8) and external packages... That could of course be handled by not supporting it initially. I think the binup transport code (that find/fetched) the updates should rather independent of the packages/patches being transported to allow support for FreeBSD packages (.tgz), libh, Colin Percival's patches and so on. I think the first thing to do make a more complete description of the client/server "protocol" since different persons then can start seperatly on the client and the server. If you are interested in looking at the server part I would be happy to look at the client. --=20 Simon L.
