If you do a 'poudriere testport' then you will ultimately end up having built all of the packages in the dependency tree at least once, which can take a long time and a lot of system resources. You'll see this effect even on your local branch. Usually if you're working on a port you'll end up rebuilding it repeatedly, and the second and subsequent times it's quite likely that all of the dependencies will already have been built, so additional 'poudriere testport' runs will only re-build your port of interest. Much quicker. Which is fine, until you start working on a different port with a different dependency tree and a whole new list of dependency packages to build... Cheers, Matthew
