BTW: I would settle for being able to select between base system components that are default (e.g. "bind" and "sendmail" and "perl", etc.), and those components from ports (e.g. "djbdns", and "postfix" and "newer than base version of perl") on an equivalency basis, but I don't see how you would manage this without the registration of base system components into the same configuration management system as the replacements you are permitted to select from for any given service or role. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
