Never do anything only once, everything should be a repeatable process
bsdinstall not there yet for scripted install; just using a 100lines shell script
puppet, interest at PC-BSD side
pkgng to update the base system (binary patches, whatever, ..)
a bit of security on jail updating
puppet self-update → no
puppet patches → port → upstream (github pull requests)
kerberos (TODO: docs missing, sparse, needs updated, …) vs. puppet users setup
freebsd-udpate works fairly well; scripting freebsd-update; see ezjail-admin; PC-BSD as well; should fix freebsd-update; des: forks for sha256, .., simon: maybe just optimize; maybe just optimize parts and work; etcmerge; error handling is missing; Someone other than Colin should touch it
build packages in jails for sets of machines; poudriere needs ZFS; rebuilds everything; the pkg upgrade; pkg update
Need sub-packages for pkg options; PC-BSD builds from source; need a way to build more options; split things up into lots of individual parts instead of all of it in one package
How to manage PXE environments? Have different versions set; PC-BSD 9 has a utility to setup the pxe server, pc-sysinstall config, options to setup, setups NFS, etc.; UoOslo provisioning infos
