Hi all,

like many we run our own poudriere to build the packages for our infrastructure.
Fetching packages from the standard FreeBSD repos for ports with default options
is a long requested feature. Of course I understand it will not be implemented 
by elves
and neither do we have the knowledge and manpower to help in this particular 
area.

What I am interested in: there are a handful to a dozen ports that take 
exceptionally
long to build. GCC, LLVM, rustlang … 

Notably these are all „infrastructure“ ports that are built as dependencies and 
we do
not change the options of any of them. Did anyone implement a lean hack for a
few selected packages to be fetched as binaries?

E.g. check if they are newer in the FreeBSD quarterly repo, put them in our own 
repo,
rebuild the repo index and then start poudriere bulk …?

Would that work?

Thanks,
Patrick
