Yes, I too am building my own package set and creating a private 
repository for local distributon. It seems to be working very well indeed.

Poudriere though: I read somewhere that ZFS is a prerequisite. Is that 
so? 

Second question: At the moment I'm using 'pkg create' to generate 
packages from conventionally built ports, 'pkg repo' to create/update the 
tarred repo file, and a tiny Python script for HTTP serving. Am I missing 
out on some functionality?
