Thanks for the reply, John.
I have no issue with running poudriere. I have an issue running
poudriere to best benefit my needs. I can't bend it to my will.
So I have simply set up my own Jails, my own way. I appreciate your
concern. But I've been thinking about this for *quite* some time,
and I'm up for the challenge, or more accurately; the task.
Even if I weren't, what's the worst that could happen; that it'd
languish a little longer?
Honestly; I'm up on it.

Thanks!
