Quite often I build packages or use packages whenever available and share (NFS) them with my other boxes. Although building and "deploying" packages can be fairly simple, due to dependencies, slow network connections, hw problems or just slow machine it takes a while. What would really help me is if latest - updated packages could be available more often. How porters decide which package should be updated and available as package? Is there anything what can I do to help updating latest packages? Thanks, Paul
