 There are various solutions used in building multiple packages for %%FreeBSD%%.  In a perfect world these would all be based on the same code as a reusable toolkit.  In the meantime, here is an overall summary of what each one supports. There are various solutions used in building multiple packages for %%FreeBSD%%.  In a perfect world these would all be based on the same code as a reusable toolkit.  In the meantime, here is an overall summary of what each one supports.
