- I just got done configuring Poudriere on Freebsd 12.1-RELEASE. The
- awesome thing about it is it allows you to configure and maintain your
- own package repository. All of the ports and their dependencies are
- built from source with personalized options. That means that I can
- maintain my own repo of just the packages I need with just the
- compile-time options I need. For example, for the Nvidia driver set I
- disabled all Wayland related flags. I use Xorg so there was no need to
- have that functionality built in.
- </p>
-

- Compile times are pretty long but I hope to change that by upgrading my
- home server to FreeBSD as well (from Ubuntu Server). Then I can
- configure poudriere to serve up a ports tree and my own pkg repo from
- there. The server is a lot faster than my laptop and will build packages
- way faster, and I'll be able to use those packages on both the server
- and my laptop and any jails I have running. Jails (and ZFS) also make
- poudriere really cool to use as all of the building is done inside a
- jail. When the time comes I can just remove the jail and poudriere ports
- tree from my laptop and update pkg to point to my web server.

- This is, as I understand it, the sane way to do package management in
- FreeBSD. The binary package repo is basically the ports tree
- pre-assembled with default options. Sometimes those packages are
- compiled without functionality that most users don't need. In those
- situations, you're forced to use ports. The trouble is you're not really
- supposed to mix ports and binary packages. The reason, again as I
- understand it, is because ports are updated more frequently. So binary
- packages and ports can have different dependency versions, which can
- sometimes break compatibility on an upgrade. Most FreeBSD users
- recommend installing everything with ports (which is just a make install
- inside the local tree) but then you lose the package management features
- that come with pkg. Poudriere lets you kind of do both by creating your
- "own personal binary repo" out of a list of preconfigured, pre-built
- ports.
