If the machines where installed using pkg you can always grab the
installs out of the cache (/var/cache/pkg/) on the relevant machines to
debug issues.

Is it at all possible for the ports/pkg people to QUIT DELETING STUFF!
It's most disconcerting when a quarterly collection of packages
disappears and one has nowhere to get new packages that match all the
ones out in the field. Since 10.3 is the latest 10 release and the
release_3 collection is gettign soemwhat dated, it would be nice to
have a stable quarterly set to refer to that is not going to
disappear in 3 months!
machines get shipped.. they go to customers. They are frozen in time.
If debugging requires a new package, we have to have copied the entire
quarterly set "just in case". because the originals from freebsd have
done a runner. Are they archived somewhere?
