Well, Debian makes people happy because of this:
apt-get upgrade
And "it just works". It installs all available uprades for things
you already have installed, it restarts servers that need restarting,
it will even turn off nfs exports when installing a new nfs-kernel-server
then turn them back on, etc. At a minimum we would need to support
similar functionality.
FreeBSD's ports and pkg system doesn't even come close to the level
of functionality that Debian's apt-get represents, and tools like
portupgrade etc do not produce reliable results. Every time I try
to do a major upgrade of my installed ports on a FreeBSD box half
of them wind up broken.
That said, I believe that the FreeBSD ports infrastructure can be
used as a basis for the model that we've been discussing. I believe
it is possible to create a much stricter environment for ports to
be built, installed, and run in which properly maps and guarentees
the myrid dependancies.
