Sure that's how the package build works - it uses poudriere to do the work, but it will run for a very long time unless you have very powerful hardware and it is unlikely that you actually want more than a small proportion of the ports. The good news is that you can give poudriere a list of the ports you really want and it will build just those and the dependencies. Apart from poudriere you'll probably want a web server - pretty much any web server will do. You can also type cd /usr/ports ; make package. But that will fail somewhere along the line (conflicting ports if nothing else) and it will take ages - geological ones most likely. Don't do that. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
