Even worse, poudriere doesn't need to build it. If you aren't changing its
options there's no functional difference between building it locally and
installing from the public pkg repo. Poudriere does have the ability to
install from pkgs, but there is a 2-year-old bug that prevents that feature
from working correctly.
The developmenmt version poudriere-devel has got the feature to
download the packages specified in some configuration file.
Disclaimer: I have not used it because I can like with the packaged
software.
I have used it. Both -b branch and PACKAGE_FETCH_*. The feature you
mention does indeed download pkgs. But, as is documented in issues on
the project, the bug makes poudriere delete the pkgs it just fetched and
queue up builds instead.
