OK, I installed 11-a2 and poudriere. Now I'm running testport, however I
have a question - poudriere wiki describes situation where developer
patches port and runs it to test. This looks like final precaution
before commit to port tree.
What if I don't know yet what to patch, but need to experiment a little?
I want 'make extract', then patch by hand, then try to compile. Is it
possible?

can you give me advice for system to test ports if I want to test ports

world.
You can do this fairly easily with poudriere -- just create poudriere
jails of the appropriate versions and CPU architectures.
However there are some limitations:
* You can build for arch=i386 on arch=amd64 but not the other way
round.
* Your poudriere jails cannot be newer than your host system. So if
you want to do test builds on 9.x, 10.x and 11.x, then you're
going to have to upgrade your machine to 11.x.
Then all you need is a fairly trivial shell script to run 'poudriere
testport' against all the different combinations of OS version and
architecture.
Cheers
