Good point. Of course...I already have that repository, all set up, by
definition. That's how I distributed the packages in the first place!

poudriere is great (and I have used it) for cross-platform and
cross-release stuff. With a single release, 10 systems to update, all
the same, it seems more than I need.

All I seem to need with portmaster is:

  portmaster -a
  pkg repo

after all..
