This is an old revision of the document!

BaptisteDaroussin can give us a status update and then we can talk about ways for others to get involved.

The SVN Branch is here: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/projects/release-pkg/release/packages/

Needs pkg 1.6 or later, but pkg still needs some work:

• Flag files to be upgraded first
• Multiple packages with the same name in the repo (not depend origin)
• pre-uninstall hooks into the solver to check before removing something critical (i.e. Kernel)

Break things down into different layers:

• FreeBSD (metapackage)
  • Kernel
  • Base
    • Runtime
    • ssh
    • sendmail
    • …
  • Dev Tools

Building: make packages buildkernel create-kernel-packages
