We simply 'make package' and install other systems from the resulting package. This does not, however, appear to be as well supported by portsng/pkgng as it was in the previous versions. Now it just exits with no message and a 0 exit-code without creating the package unless you've created /usr/ports/packages and/or specified one or more of WRKDIRPREFIX, PACKAGES and PKGREPOSITORY. What documentation there is seems to be based on older versions (like much of the FreeBSD website) and I haven't found anything on the differences between 'make package' and Poudriere. Roger
