Hello, we use NanoBSD to build the software installations for our hosting platform and I'm trying to better automate the process of building packages.
Poudriere looked like an interesting tool to me, so I tried it. Quite painless, but two questions currently remain: To me it looks like Poudriere populates the build jail/chroot from release tarballs fetched from an FTP server - but I'd rather use, say, 8.3p6 as the build platform as well as the one at runtime. At ~300+ installed ports I simply do not know if anything links statically against base system libraries and I want to catch all security updates included in RELENG_X_Y. How would I go about that? Second, how do I specify build time options that are not available via the dialog most ports use for "make config"? Currently we use an ad hoc shell script that simply installs all the ports I want, and the line for e.g. Apache reads: cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 && make -DBATCH -DPROXY=on -DPROXY_HTTP=on -DSUEXEC=on -DSUEXEC_DOCROOT=/var/apache -DSUEXEC_LOGFILE=/var/apache/GLOBAL/suexec_log install I can enable all options that simply taken an "on" setting, but what about the paths for suexec? Obviously they are critical to the operation of our servers. If this is the wrong list, I can of course take the discussion to -ports or anything else more appropriate. The Poudriere wiki doesn't mention external ressources besides IRC.
