Hi Rene, This is great. Have you seen this page summarizing our new release infrastructure. http://www.ros.org/wiki/release/Architecture I think that building the FreeBSD ports might be able to leverage some of the results of stage 1 in particular the tarball result. Our pipeline is not well documented but it's available at http://www.ros.org/wiki/ros_release if you want to take a look. If the stage 1 results could generate the freebsd metadata file it would likely ease your work. Tully PS Be aware that there may still be a few stacks which break if you strip the build directory. We're planning to switch it off in unstable shortly, and will probably be ahead of you. But I did want to make you aware that there are still a few packages which are incompatible.
