Well, this is where I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.
"poudriere" simply adds another layer of complexity and an additional
avenue of potential failure to what is a relatively simply process. I
am, and have always been a strong advocate of the "KISS" {Keep It Simple
Stupid" principal. Read past postings, and you will readily see that
"poudriere" is not a magical "cure all" for port woes. In fact, its
very presents may be hindering the development of a truly, fully
functional solution.
Again, just my 2 cents.
