Am I missing something? poudriere is the answer right now to the problem of wanting to use binary packages but finding that the default packages from pkg.freebsd.org are not built with the correct set of options. Eventually we will have sub-packages and other improvements to the way binary package management happens, so that binary packages become a lot more flexible, but those changes depend on the final demise of the pkg_tools and some of the current work on pkg(8) being released. It's going to take months (at best) before this problem is addressed effective= ly. Until then, building your own pkgs using poudriere allows you all the speed and convenience of using a package repository with the flexibility to set your own options. You can mix local poudriere built packages with official FreeBSD packages -- you do need to make sure your ports tree is fairly close to the version used in the official builds, maybe by tracking the 2014Q1 branch. Running poudriere is not hugely onerous. Once you've got it set up, you can pretty much set up cron jobs to run the builds you want and leave it to do its thing with little additional attention required. Even if you only have a very few machines to maintain, poudriere will alleviate the amount of time and effort you need to put into doing that. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
