The point of poudriere is that your poudriere server compiles the packages with custom options that you want, and then acts as a package repository to the rest of your computers. Thereby, you'll only be compiling your packages once (unless you're dealing with different architectures, which is a whole other issue). So, if you only have one computer, it won't save you any time, but the time you save goes up exponentially with how many other computers of the same architecture you have. > >--Matt linearly at best. (or did you use "exponentially" metaforically?) In practice, since you can run local updates in multiple boxes in parallel, and because of the extra overheads of poudriere, it's probably logarithmical. However, you win *a lot* on automation, and hence simplicity. Also, poudriere's web interface is simple but extremely useful. People we saying to me in the beginning: once you switch to poudriere, you wouldn't look back. They were right. Anton
