What might be a good idea is creating two ports or a binpatch port with a=
=20
binpatch-build multi-package.  The binpatch port installed scripts like z=
0mbix's=20
with a /usr/local/share/examples/binpatch/binpatch.conf (@sample'd to=20
/etc/binpatch.conf) with a mirror list (which I, for instance, would modi=
fy to=20
point to my local mirror of binpatches or it could point to, like,=20
http://erdelynet.com/downloads/4.0/).

Then, most users could install the "binpatch" package to install binpatch=
es made=20
and stored on a local mirror.  The build box could have the binpatch-buil=
d and=20
binpatch packages installed to build binpatches.

Just thinking out loud.

Also, I made patches for binpatch (which I will send in a couple minutes)=
 that=20
creates a package list and stores it in /var/db/binpatch at the patch cre=
ation=20
point (stored in the tarball).  z0mbix's scripts could be modified to use=
 that=20
information.
