Re: avoiding wayland and pkgbase

we have fbsd handbook. which i consider world famous comprehensive tutorial style guide how to use that os. it even covers things outside of it, like networking and so on. i mean, props for docteam. any chance it could also contain more detailed paragraphs / chapters on how to build own releases, how to sign and distribute it. also for ports and so on. i mean something other than release(7) manpage and source. perhaps even with orignal tools the re@ uses. only top secret components there should be private keys. or if it all exists, point me to it. i haven't found it so far? seems like others have somehow missed it too, hence the questions
