Long time no big update, but finally I added package handling on a
custom-production-unit basis :-)
Unfortunately, all the features are still undocumented, but the
interactive deploy-manager script is self explaining in most places.

Most important for package handling is "$UNIT-ports.lst", which resides
in unit-config-subdir "ports" and lists all "root"-ports, the unit will
have installed.
In building-options-menu, you can selsect "Package Building Menu", and
then "Batch building ports/packages".
If you have a ports tree on the building host, it will mount that
directory into it's building principle and create packages.
After compilation finished, a package-resolver will check any dependent
(pkg info for dependency is evaluated) package and make one if not existing.
New is also the "package ISO" Option (in Rollout menu).

Here you can find the port inofficial/deploy-tools:

Have fun,
