Hello Lowell,

Thanks for your comments.  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
