Greetings, I am completely ignorant here and am looking for up to date advice on how to get poudriere to build and make available package sets from multiple ports trees. I see there is a port "portshaker" that seems to do much of what I want. I can think of possible alternatives: I can reasonably expect to have my local ports not conflict with already existing ports (could be a common prefix in the name). Since I'm using git, I should be able to maintain my own branch which layers my own ports over upstream and git pull, merge from upstream. or I can duplicate the structure and metadata of the existing ports tree and add my own ports and leaves in the tree. Still have to maintain unique names. This seems to be what portshaker does? I am guessing that gets me a single package repo. or Have two ports trees and generate two package repos, but then dependencies would be redundantly built, I guess. What do the professionals do here? Many thanks, Russell
