I have been toying with a variety of package building methods lately. My latest effort involves looking into the "Third Party Release Engineering" documented here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng-packages/index.html. Where do I start if I am looking for package building tools that the FreeBSD project uses for burning onto ROMs? Is ports/Tools/scripts/release the right place? The dates on the files there seem stale. What I am trying to do is to build 30 or so packages including the big ones like X, kde, gnome, plus all of their dependencies on a build host and then use pkg_add on various machines. I have had a variety of difficulties with all of the methods I have used thus far (portmaster, portupgrade, homegrown). Thanks, Jason C. Wells
