Just keep in mind, that the main target will always remain FreeBSD but I can offer a dedicated branch and tell you that there will be convergence. That is how we do now with dragonfly. regards, Bapt pgpIfvw9jZC8v.pgp Description: PGP signature

I was involved in that referenced email. The first point to make is that currently ports is *not* an option for solaris or SmartOS, regardless of its ability to cross compile. Point #2 is that I want to try to bring ports to the solaris-alike family in the future (aka sunports), but work on this hasn't started yet, and adapting solaris will be a lot more work than adapting DragonFly was (and believe me DF was *A LOT* of work. Point #3 is that if I were still heavily involved in pkgsrc, I would probably create a branch of poudriere that supported pkgsrc. It is something I would recommend highly to the pkgsrc community. However, it suffers greatly from "Not invented Here" syndrome, so most consider (without proper evaluation) that pkgsrc tools are more or less equivalent. The fact is that they are not. > > Does anybody know of the state of this piece of software? The git > repos I can find on google are stale links. As etoilebsd is > referenced in the mail from DragonFly, I chose to ask here first. There is no poudriere-for-pkgsrc. The current poudriere branches are here: https://fossil.etoilebsd.net/poudriere/brlist For pkgsrc your choices are: http://pkgsrc.se/pkgtools/distbb http://pkgsrc.se/pkgtools/pbulk Here's a recent post about setting up pbulk: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2013/11/09/msg018881.html In general its poorly documented and difficult to set up parallel building. The script above is yet another attempt to reduce the complexity but I don't think either pbulk or distcc have nearly the polish or features that poudriere has. But take that with a grain of salt because I haven't used either in a long time. One more thing: SmartOS not only uses pkgsrc officially, they have a full builder farm that makes a full set of packages quarterly packages available. It also works on other illumos platforms. The best approach is just use their work. Another tutorial how to set up bulk build: http://www.perkin.org.uk/posts/distributed-chrooted-pkgsrc-bulk-builds.html info about packages already built: http://www.perkin.org.uk/posts/whats-new-in-pkgsrc-2013Q2.html You might want to check out the reset of www.perkin.org.uk for interesting posts.

The freebsd ports tree at http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/ports-mgmt/poudriere/ shows poudriere source is downloaded from http://fossil.etoilebsd.net/poudriere/tarball/ I think the best place to start would be the DPorts as it mentions they needed to patch it to work on Dragonfly - those patches will highlight the changes you need to make so should be the best start. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
poudirere behave-alike for
I think my question is slightly off-topic, but I think freebsd-ports@ may be the best of many not so good fits: I need to build packages for Solaris and SmartOS. My first choice would be ports, which unfortunately are not very well suited to cross-building. Instead I use, as many people, pkgsrc. I would like to leverage pkgsrc with something like poudriere, especially as I have ZFS and zones in Solaris/SmartOS. I found in a message on the DragonFlyBSD list http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/users/2013-01/msg8.html a mention of poudriere being used on DragonFly/pkgsrc. Does anybody know of the state of this piece of software? The git repos I can find on google are stale links. As etoilebsd is referenced in the mail from DragonFly, I chose to ask here first.
