Which BSD?

the "preferred" way to do this in a datacenter context with FreeBSD is to run a repo yourself with poudriere; this has the downside of causing you to build all your dependencies (via ports), but the upside of having everything built with your exact specifications in mind and in a way which ensures that they are rolled out in the way you prefer and that they are consistent amongt all instances.

For "old school sysadmins" who like controlling the versions of things in a very well defined way and running their own repositories it is absolutely ideal.

However, it affects developer velocity of course.
