For all the air-gapped shops I dealt with, any package builds had to be done inside the air-gap. (Those were the rules - I didn't make them.) The bottom line was: the fewer external dependencies to build a basically useful system, the better. > If Poudriere doesn't do what you want, then constructive feature requests are > always welcome (bapt likes having us add things to his to-do list - he has > way too much free time). What would really help is if the ports fetch-recursive-list target could extend to reliably include the distfiles for the runtime dependencies as well. But I'm not even sure that's possible. We tried a few different things, but in the end we had to brute force it by running 'make fetch' in every one of the ports directories in order to get all the distfiles onto an external system, which we then rsynced to a USB drive, marched inside, and rsynced to the fileserver. Not pretty ... but with all the distfiles at hand we knew the inside ports builds wouldn't fail due to missing dependencies. --lyndon
