Ability to install development snapshots of packages to stable branch pfsense…
-
It would be nice if there was a method to publish packages in beta form for the stable version of pfsense that existed alongside the stable versions of those packages.
That would allow us to test the packages in a working environment with little risk since if there turns out to be problems, we can always roll back to the stable version.
Barring that, having the ability to easily access older versions of a package would help in situations where a newly release package breaks something unexpectedly.

The closest you'll see at the moment is how things are now: 2.3.3 is not that far off 2.3.2, but they pull from different package sources. If a package change is pushed to RELENG_2_3, it will be available on 2.3.3 and not 2.3.2, so that is good for development and testing.
