This project consists of the setup of a chroot mechanism to automatically build packages, send reports on failures and implement a distribution mechanism to allow users to fetch compressed and signed binary packages. This task could extend to support universal binaries, multiple variants, and cross-testing (building on one box and testing on another). -This also includes to cleanly separate building software from installing it, by using binary archives. For this, a PkgIndex is needed that in addition to the PortIndex information also contains the binary versions needed and available. The installation from binary (port -b) should be able to cooperate with the installation from source (port -s). Additionally, a pkg(1) command could be developed that would allow to install from packages only without needing Xcode or the ports tree. +This also includes to cleanly separate building software from installing it, by using binary archives.

Additionally, a pkg(1) command could be developed that would allow to install from packages only without needing Xcode or the ports tree like port(1) does.
