They prompted me to take a closer look at poudriere. As FreeBSD is only on one workstation with a handful of customized ports I thought poudriere was overkill. Moreover, I mistakenly thought that all my ports had to be built using this program but recently discovered that a customized list of ports is possible. I'll give it a try. Cheers ... Marek
