Indeed.  I dislike poudriere simply because it is a sledge hammer in
my context.  When I first tried it (eight or nine years ago), it tended
to make my build machine panic.  I did try it a couple more times after
that but it took too much time.  With portmaster, I run into other
problems, of course, but I can usually debug them; and I can compile
only the stuff I need compiled (i.e. to fix CVEs).          -- George
