I love this idea.  I recently moved back to FreeBSD after 14 years on
debian, and was shocked at how great poudriere + pkg is for
maintaining a consistent set of packages for a cluster of systems. (I
know it's pitiful compared to the cloud, but I've got 3 FreeBSD and 3
debian-testing atm, and two of those debians are in danger of forced
religious conversion. :-) The main reason I moved to debian in the
first place is I was working in high user-space and I needed "office"
apps (egads) working consistently and reliably through upgrades, and
the ports system then was not up to the job.  It is now!  Basically,
poudriere + pkg is debian apt-file + apt-cache + apt-get + approx with
the added benefit of site specific, port-specific options.  Maybe like
arch?

So I would be very willing to contribute to this project, if that
makes sense.

Best,
Russell

(what list should this move to? Perhaps ports?)
