Hello, I am setting up a FreeBSD machine to track the STABLE branch
and to rebuild the system from time-to-time. The main reason being to
keep track of security related fixes and enhancents.The documentation
covers that quite well.

But I was wondering what is a good procedure to distribute updated
binaries to other machines. I several have production machines that I
would like to keep up-to-date but do not want to compile source on
every machine.

Being able to create something like a Windows NT service pack
would be nice :)
