Building Binary PC-BSD Packages (O'ReillyNet)

O'ReillyNet covers the process of adding extra packages (PBIs) to a PC-BSD system, assuming that the desired package is not currently included in the available Ports. "While casual users won't be making their own PBIs, you don't have to be a programmer to do so. If you have basic Unix skills, are comfortable with the FreeBSD packages collection, and have a meticulous nature, you can easily create your first PBI in the space of an afternoon. This article assumes that you are working on an existing PC-BSD system."
