Forgot to address that part ...
I have wrote verimg(8) because I need to build custom images in predictable and
flexible way ... if 'generic' images from FTP would suit me - I would use them
and would not write the tool. Its not verimg(8) target to 'clone' the
'release.sh' with hashes or anything. The task of verimg(8) is to provide
reliable/easy/fast interface for creating PKGBASE FreeBSD images from pkg(8)
repos that are already available - often custom ones - with custom needs.
Hope that help.
