Thanks for this Dewayne. I have worked out the outlines of how the new
process works, it's the specifics of how it will impact my personal
process that I'm not clear about :).
With Masachika's help I now know how to link the build number as
reported by Poudriere to the git commit. That is trivial to feed to my
script though I do have a couple of other questions which I raised
further down the thread.

Hi all,
I've been following the discussion about the git upgrade to the ports
repro but am not clear about how it impacts my use case.
At the moment I track ports on the revision that the Freebsd build
cluster uses to build the "latest" package set. I take the currently
reported latest build revision number from Poudriere on the appropriate
package build box, update my ports tree to that revision using svn on a
Debian box then use the resulting port tree to build my few ports and
dependencies locally with somewhat different build options from default
then export the resulting package set to my local machines. This process
has been working satisfactorily for several years now. My systems are
always running the same package set as "latest".
My question is: is the poudriere build process going to change and will
the build cluster still report the latest build in a form that I can
feed to git on Debian to update my ports tree to the same level as the
Freebsd package server?
As of today I am still seeing the Latest build version on
http://beefy6.nyi.freebsd.org/jail.html?mastername=122amd64-default/
reported as svn revision 569609 and updating my ports using svn works.
Unfortunately svn is frozen at
Revision: 569609
which I'm sure will disenfranchise some.
I'd suggest that you search this mail-list for
"Re: I run poudriere - what do I need to do once ports switch over to git?"
Though it is not something we use.
This may help https://wiki.freebsd.org/git
specifically https://github.com/lwhsu/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/URLs.md
The reason(s) for moving to git are described here
https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/
I've also found Ed Maste's email "Proposed ports git transition
schedule" helpful.
My apologies if I've missed this in the discussion or referenced docs
and thanks for any guidance or pointers.
