I would like to try Overlay support in ports tree (announced few weeks
ago in 2019Q4 branch).
The question is will it work with Poudriere or not? We are building
all our packages with poudriere.
I tried adding OVERLAYS= /vol0/poudriere/ports/myports in to
myports-make.conf but "poudriere options -z myports -p default -f
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/pkglists/myports" failed when it reaches
the <category>/<portname> existing only in myports and not in default
ports tree.
Am I doing something wrong or Poudriere does not support Overlays?
Sorry, I might have missed the original announcement.
What is this Overlay support?
I obviosly tried searching, but came up empty.
Is that something which should achieve what ports-mgmt/portshaker (which
I'm using) does?
Yes, it should be something like portshaker but implemented directly in
the ports tree Mk files. I didn't dig deep in it yet.
Original announcement
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2019-October/117066.html
and in ports/CHANGES
20190903:
AUTHOR: b...@freebsd.org
The ports tree now supports overlays
overlays are a way to help users to integrate their own ports tree
with the official ports tree without having to maintain clone of the
official tree and remerge on regular basis.
The ports tree will lookup in the overlays (in the order the are
listed in
OVERLAY variable) for the dependencies and the USES. It will use the
first found.
in order to use it the user have to declare his overlays that way in
their
make.conf:
OVERLAYS= overlay1 overlay2 overlay3
As I understand it should be possible to have default ports tree
synchronised by SVN or Git with official tree and the second tree with
private ports only, called for example "myports" (/usr/myports)
Then in make.conf define OVERLAYS= /usr/myports and the ports framework
should lookup first at the /usr/myports then /usr/ports.
If /usr/myports contains some changes in Mk/Uses files, they should be
applied too.
But it didn't work with poudriere.
