I recently moved back to FreeBSD after 14 years on debian, and was shocked at how great poudriere + pkg is for maintaining a consistent set of packages for a cluster of systems. (I know it's pitiful compared to the cloud, but I've got 3 FreeBSD and 3 debian-testing atm, and two of those debians are in danger of forced religious conversion. :-) The main reason I moved to debian in the first place is I was working in high user-space and I needed "office" apps (egads) working consistently and reliably through upgrades, and the ports system then was not up to the job. It is now! Basically, poudriere + pkg is debian apt-file + apt-cache + apt-get + approx with the added benefit of site specific, port-specific options. Maybe like arch? So I would be very willing to contribute to this project, if that makes sense. Best, Russell (what list should this move to? Perhaps ports?)Received on Wed Aug 13 2014 - 23:34:19 UTC
