Looking at https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-poudriere.html it also agrees with my setup advice, very trivial. There's this silly idea that Poudriere is hard to setup. It's not tinderbox which required maintaining an external database and migrations on it and such. I do agree Poudriere has option and command overload which makes it confusing, but the official guide is to the point and mostly simple (it needlessly uses -p and -z when not needed). Customizing its options are something to be done optionally later. I do like that synth supports upgrading the *HOST* more simply. I want to add such a feature to Poudriere as well eventually. -- Regards, Bryan Drewery bdrewery@freenode/EFNet
