That works as well. I have a checkout of the ports tree, use
make config to define non-default port options. This stores the
selected OPTIONs in /var/db/ports/, and poudriere uses those
options just fine.

Re/ the options, I copy them into the jail with something like this
procedure:

# cd /usr/ports/mail/mutt
# make config

# mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/freebsd-head-options/mail_mutt
# cp /var/db/ports/mail_mutt/options
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/freebsd-head-options/mail_mutt

'freebsd-head' is the name of the poudriere jail (I have some of
them) and the ports options stay there, as well the make.conf
options in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/freebsd-head-make.conf


I am following stable, and my jail's name has been set to stable.

All of poudriere's settings/configs are kept in:

    /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d


The subject is 'portmaster new development' but again start pushing
poudriere to FreeBSD users. I do not use zfs file system and I do not
use poudriere and I do not want to use on my computer for building some
ports and then spending hours and hours with poudriere with not enough
machine. For me is portmaster perfect as is now.





I have to agree, portmaster works for certain user cases where poudriere doesn't, like mine.  The answer seems to be just (buy) a high end machine and dedicate it to build with lots of RAM, high end CPU's, and a big ZFS array with the right combination of SSDs etc and it is fast and stable!


I build my ports in poudriere in VM without zfs or ssd on pre-Sandy Bridge CPU. I don't have enough memory or disk space, so I don't use tmpfs or ccache either. I migrated from portmaster when it was abandoned several years ago and don't think I'll come back, especially if new portmaster will be written on bash. The idea behind portmaster was zero dependencies, so it doesn't brake after major upgrades.
