Poudriere really needs its own small book. Yes, you can do simple
poudriere installs, but once you start covering it properly the docs
quickly expand. My notes alone are longer than my af3e chapter

2018).
Please include a discussion on how to use poudriere on
a system with limited resouces [...]
Pretty sure the standard response will be along the lines of: [...]
Some users cannot afford a 16-core, 32 GB ram, 2TB diskspace box
to simply build ports with custom options. [...]
While I agree with you, allow me to insert a gentle reminder that the
OP was asking only about whether to include portmaster in his book.
I suggest that he should. -- George
Ahem, yeah, so I'm not allowed to request a short description
on how to use poudiere in a resource constrained environment?
The environment isn't constrained by poudriere but by the ports you want
to compile. When compiling libreoffice or chromium or firefox I don't
think there is anything else that can be done than setting poudriere to
run no more than 1 job at a time. Poudriere itself doesn't take any
additional resources, it's just a dedicated jail and a bunch of scripts.
I would rather say that the amount of resources poudriere takes to
compile stuff is normal, the baseline. Portmaster or portupgrade make a
compromise - unstable compilation environment for some additional memory
to compile especially resource hungry ports.
What I am trying to say is that there isn't probably much to discuss.
However, explaining the difference between portmaster/portupgrade and
poudriere and how to plan computer resources for compiling various sizes
of ports may be more useful?
