I'll explicitly note that one of the files is: /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf It is the most global make.conf in poudriere's activities. For poudriere, someone writing about using make.conf likely is implicitly referencing the one at that path (unless they report something that indicates otherwise). Bob: Sorry I did not notice the /etc/make.conf reference in your earlier material.

My guess is that Bob will explore what various combinations do, including for hitting resource limits vs. not. He has a long history of doing such and I've learned some (for me) handy things from some of his explorations and what they lead to. > > Perhaps I've complicated matters by using testport on earlier, > > successful, tries.

Bob has a history of posting large log files someplace for reference. So I'd not be surprised if he does that again for this issue at some point. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
