It didn't compiled anything at all, because I updated the wrong /usr/ports tree, not the one poudriere was using. When I realized my fault, I updated with 'git pull' the correct tree and restarted poudriere to only compile one port (security/wpa_supplicant). The result was, that poudriere detected the (massive) changes, deleted and recompiled around 10 ports and at the end successfully security/wpa_supplicant. I don't want to imagine a more massive recompilation due to changes in infrastructure ports. In short: Is there no way with git to pull only one special port for a recompilation? matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub
