Just to 2nd what DAG said, I disable the stock repos like he said and just
have a:
[cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/local.conf]
local: { url: "file:///usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/16-master/",
mirror_type: NONE, enabled: yes }
In my case, "master" being my "ports" name (the branch I cloned from git)
and 16 being the jail name (tracking the OS major version). The initial
bootstrap might be an annoying without FreeBSD ports being available, which
is when you can (hopefully) kludge with some of the previous version's packages.
