Hi all,
I had a couple of uber-outdated machines, so I re-run the infamous clcbuild script to get some binary package.
Results at the same old place[1], as usual some failed port are my fault, known issues, etc. Welcome back and thanks for running the tests again. Did you use pkg-get to install those packages? I was wondering whether we could create a very small install ISO containing just the base packages plus stuff you need to get your network up, and a way to directly fetch binary packages using pkg-get. I'd assume that this would be interesting for both those

Just an idea though, didn't put a lot of thought into it. To think a bit ahead, it would be cool to select some packages on one machine and have a script download those binary package and build a customized install ISO from it, using the binary packages. Imagine: "Oh, I want base, X11, firefox, KDE and OpenOffice. Go!", and the next thing you remember is the CD tray opening and a shiny custom installation CD smiling at you. Oh well, I don't really think there's a real need for this, I was just carried away by the possibilites ;-) Regards, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@tks6.net Bern, Switzerland http://jw.tks6.net
