Hi Alan,
Seriously, many people have talked about this in the past, and there are some

Nexenta...but I don't think it would matter as long as people got their

Hi Alan,
A packaging system like apt is exactly what I'd like. Frankly, a
packaging system that blends the binary delivery benefits of apt plus
the source delivery benefits of "emerge" would be fantastic. The
network install is primarily what we're missing...that and the pkg
