Hello,

we were looking for a way to manage efficiently the ports installed in our servers and we came up with the idea to set up a "builder" server on which we compile, install and test all ports. The rest of our servers set the PKG_SITES variable to "builder" and use "portinstall -P" and "portupgrade -P" for installations and upgrades.

The setup works quite well and has saved us a lot of time and effort. Currently we are looking for ways to automate as much as possible the whole process. One of the problems we face is the initial installation of packages that alter their names, like sendmail+tls+sasl2+ldap+db46 and openldap-sasl-server. Seems like there is no obvious way to "portinstall -P" such packages.

Falling back to "pkg_add -r full-URL" would be an ugly solution :-/

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Panagiotis
