Just a FYI:
To share default ports tree, configured options and saved distfiles
between bare-metal and poudriere, I have
null mounted ports tree configured with below
poudriere ports -c -f none -M /usr/ports -m null
make /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options to be a symlink to
/var/db/ports
make sure "DISTFILES_CACHE=/usr/ports/distfiles" in
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf
And if you're using any overlays to be used both for
bare-metal and poudriere, you'll need something like below
in your /etc/make.conf per-overlay. Example below has
2 overlays.
.ifndef POUDRIERE_BUILD_TYPE
OVERLAYS= /usr/local/overlays/kdeguchi/mozc-ports \
/usr/local/overlays/kdeguchi/compiz-reloaded-ports
.endif
I've written up about my poudriere use-case at the time I was on
stable/14 here (now I'm on stable/15, though).
https://brew.bsd.cafe/TomAoki/Tips-and-Tricks/src/branch/main/poudriere/README.md
Not documented there, but I have /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf
and /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/src.conf to be symlinks to each files
in /etc/. This is because my poudriere jail is deditated for local
host only.
