I haven't had any luck searching for this, perhaps someone here
can point me in the right direction.
Is there an app to enable a FreeBSD server to perform binary
updates on a host of FreeBSD clients.
Example 1: A binary update to an application (FireFox) is needed on all
clients.The server needs to PUSH this out to 10 machines.
Example 2: A binary update is needed, but not available, so the server
needs to compile the source and push the resulting binary
updates out to the 10 clients.
In case 2, I believe the server can generate a package from source
and make it available to the clients as a partial solution. It would
be best however if the server could push the updates out without
having to run a pkg_add or portupgrade on every machine through a login.
