    I'm wondering if/where I can get the server side component for
    freebsd-update. Presumably such a component would build and sign the
    binary patches and prepare them to be served via HTTP to the
    freebsd-update client.

    I need a system for distributing binary updates to a collection of
    customized FreeBSD machines, jails, and embedded systems. freebsd-update
    seems to be what I'm looking for, but I'm wondering if the server side
    is a proprietary piece of technology held by someone somewhere, or if it
    is in fact open source.

    Any pointers on where the project would be hosted if it is open source?
    The few leads that turned up when searching google ended up being dead ends.

    Thanks,
    Nate
