Hello.

I find it impossible to rebuild the hard but very commonly used packages on
every 'portaudit' notice.

Impossible in my case means the result is unpredictable and the process is too
long.

This involves mozilloids and a chromium at the least, needn't to mention the
OOo is a must, too.

Looking at

  http://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/www/

I can't find them. FF is v16 there (v18+ is in the ports' head) and no any
chromium.

Does it mean that if I need the binary-updated firefox and chromium then I
need to use pc-bsd?

This makes me want even more to install a pc-bsd or the like into the jail
and rolling binary updates there without its GUI.  Is there any 'been there,
done that' for the case?

Thank you.
