As for poudriere, where it places its ports tree is really no different than you keeping it in your jail now. It does not have to be in /usr/ports. By default it will use /usr/local/poudriere/ports/default/. I do highly recommend poudriere. Building ports on a live system is dangerous as it can leave things broken for long periods of time. Portmaster is even worse as it will uninstall ports for very long periods of time while upgrading dependencies. Portupgrade handles this situation much better, but of course has all of its own cons. -- Regards, Bryan Drewery
