No it doesn't populate the jail from the pkgbase sets, the jail will still be populated using make installworld and friends. I still need to add the possibility to create a jail (and update it) just from a pkgbase but haven't got time yet for this. > The flow that I'd suggest is: > > - Poudriere jail to build a jail from an existing source tree. > - If there are kernel changes, install the packages on the package > builder and reboot. > - Poudriere bulk in the new jail to build the new package set. > > Note: You can *normally* skip the second step (drm ports, for example, > will be built against the new kernel sources in the jail, though they > might not be loadable on the host) but there's no guarantee that you can > run a newer userland on an older kernel so things may break. > > If you enable reproduceable builds in the src.conf that you use for > building the jail then you should be able to just diff the kernel binary > to see if anything has changed. > > If you have bhyve or are running on a cloud platform then you can > replace the second step with a poudriere image invocation to build a VM > image containing poudriere and your newly-built base system and deploy > this to build the packages.
