You must really hate RPM, as pkg is trying to do essentially the same for FreeBSD. :) As others already mentioned, rebuilding production environments/packages via cron jobs from moving target such as the current ports three is not the best setup favoring 'stability'. These things can and do fail sometimes. From your postings on this thread I understand you are unhappy that your pkg_tools poudriere jails were messed up. So are many others. The switch is indeed a pain, but the direction is good. Progress is part of evolution -- it knocks off some, and promotes others. We will have to live with it. WhateverHat is not better. Daniel
