How well does it work to use binary packages only to maintain a FreeBSD web server in general (I am thinking of package availability, but also and in particular as a quasi-automated updating tool)? I noticed that in the past few years, updating softwares through ports has been requiring more user intervention, due to the way some dependencies are being updated from one version to the next. Would using binary packages allow to avoid more such user intervention? Thanks
