--- Comment #17 from Daniel Austin <freebsd-ports@dan.me.uk> ---
DEVELOPER=yes isnt required in the poudriere make.conf (in fact, I think it now
actively complains about it).

It's automatically set when doing a testport run, or bulk -t

I believe the sample poudriere.conf file contains all the documentation you'd
need to adjust any settings within it.

The whole purpose of poudriere is to ensure that package builds do not pollute
your system.  Using ZFS is the easiest way as it just uses snapshots to
maintain a clean jail for each build.

Thr trouble with building ports on a live system is that you never know what
installed ports/packages are going to affect the port you're building.

Poudriere only ever builds a port with the base system plus any
build/run_depends from the port in question.

This is why poudriere testport logs are desired - it can do testing well beyond
any standard live system.

I'm not sure what issues you have with poudriere.
As far as I'm concerned it's the perfect tool for testing builds, and it even
lets me test against 8.4, 9.3, 10.0 and 11.0 (in both i386 and amd64) on the
same machine.  (and with some patches to qemu, you can even cross-build for
some ARM targets)

It's an excellent tool, and I wish we had been able to use it sooner.

We used to have to use tinderbox which is nowhere near as useful as poudriere
(and more annoying to setup!)
