Yes, you have to configure it, build a jail, and install a ports tree.  It's
like a computer with an OS and a mostly empty hard-driver.  It works "out of
the box" but there's not much to do until you install other stuff.  Basically
your issue is you don't know know to how to use poudriere.  moving on...

Maybe because of this: "NO_STAGE= yes"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  that's not warning, that FATAL
It means your portlink is out of date too, you should update that.

There are hundreds of people that do porting, it's not that exclusive a club or
really any kind of special talent...

If it's unstaged (and it is) and there's no update coming, I have no choice but
to close the PR.  You didn't waste my time.

Thanks,
