Hey there All, Is there an easy way to have poudriere auto-track the latest quarterly ports build tree, without having to manually reset it to a specific branch? Poudriere knows how to portsnap the latest ports/head, but not the latest quarterly. Example: Currently, I can't build ports due to a failure in -HEAD for one of my dependencies (xerces-c3-3.2.0) which causes several other ports to fail as well. Presumably, this port is more stable in the quarterly branch, which is where me (and I think most people) would like to do most of our building with -- for those of us that are only building custom ports to get new options, not those of us that need the latest-greatest code. However, that means that four times a year, one needs to manually do surgery on our repos, not only to pull in the new quarterly branch, but also to re-point pkg at the new build location. It would work better if poudriere were either aware of the way the quarterly branches are named, OR if there was a tag that always pointed a the current quarterly, same as in pkg. Is this possible? -Dan Mahoney
