The source ports for compilers should have all optimizations (like PGO, LTO, etc.) enabled by default, and require reasonably modern (perhaps newer than Sandy Bridge) processor features by default.It has this ability. If you set PACKAGE_FETCH_BLACKLIST, it will never download pkgs for the pkgname globs listed. If you set PACKAGE_FETCH_WHITELIST, it will download pkgs for only those pkgname globs listed. The suggested value in poudriere.conf is even "gcc* rust llvm*".
No it doesn't. This is almost useless for those who tracks main (they may be useful for those who are using quarterly branch, where toolchain ports are updated way less frequently) today.
We need a more systematic solution to this, for example the toolchain packages should get highest priority at build cluster and once they (plus dependencies) are built, they are being delivered to the official pkg site immediately instead of waiting for the compiler to finish building everything else, then delivered to the package site.
