Poudriere questions

Hello,

we use NanoBSD to build the software installations for our hosting platform
and I'm trying to better automate the process of building packages.

Poudriere looked like an interesting tool to me, so I tried it. Quite painl=
ess,
but two questions currently remain:

To me it looks like Poudriere populates the build jail/chroot from release
tarballs fetched from an FTP server - but I'd rather use, say, 8.3p6 as
the build platform as well as the one at runtime. At ~300+ installed ports
I simply do not know if anything links statically against base system libra=
ries
and I want to catch all security updates included in RELENG_X_Y.
How would I go about that?

Second, how do I specify build time options that are not available via the
dialog most ports use for "make config"? Currently we use an ad hoc shell
script that simply installs all the ports I want, and the line for e.g. Apa=
che reads:

cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 && make -DBATCH -DPROXY=3Don -DPROXY_HTTP=3Don -=
DSUEXEC=3Don -DSUEXEC_DOCROOT=3D/var/apache -DSUEXEC_LOGFILE=3D/var/apache/=
GLOBAL/suexec_log install

I can enable all options that simply taken an "on" setting, but what about
the paths for suexec? Obviously they are critical to the operation of our s=
ervers.

If this is the wrong list, I can of course take the discussion to -ports or
anything else more appropriate. The Poudriere wiki doesn't mention
external ressources besides IRC.

Thanks =

Patrick
