Hi,
I would like to update the installed packages at home. There
are two problems:
1) there is only dialup internet connection. That pretty
much rules out the possibility of using 'pkg_add -r'
2) I want to use packages, because using ports will take
days and the systems are not that fast. So, I cannot
use 'make fetch-recursive'
I would like to create a package repository with the
packages of choice, burn these to one or two CDs,
take them home, and do the installation.
I guess I can install inside a jail the packages of choice,
are there any other options?
Thanks in advance, Nikos

If you don't mind building the packages (on the remote system) from
ports, I would suggest ports-mgmt/tinderbox
Comprehensive instructions are located here: http://tinderbox.marcuscom.com/
I've used it for quite some time (http://www.freebsdgr.org/tinderbox/)
but lately I've dedicated a machine for package building and I am using
a couple of my own simple scripts.
