In the ‘newest’ build of quarterly the number of failed packages went down to 45 from 65.
Boy, I so hope, that I in the (near) future can help with problems in FreeBSD!!!
Snapshots are great! 
but I should have written ‘boot environments’(BE) in my previous post…
The bectl command needs less parameters and works on a NomadBSD ZFS-disk:
> sudo bectl create [be-name]
> sudo bectl list
> sudo bectl activate [be-name]
and to free up space, when you’re absolutely sure the boot environment is not needed:
> sudo bectl destroy [be-name]
But zfs is more universal and the knowledge it requires is an advantage in many cases 
.
Please have a look at the last part of my post in this thread and why - in my world - an upgrade-script is NOT trivial…
Maybe you can help the small team accomplish this task..!?
Have a look at NomadBSDs GitHub-page.
The number of contributors - large and small - are 9 (nine)!!!
They surely wont mind a hand 
(hopefully you’ll receive this last part as a tongue-in-cheek reaction - I’m also looking forward to the next release)
