Hello. I've got some questions on pkgbase that I was not able to find an answer for. I'm listing them here in no particular order... Since I have some local modifications to the official sources, I'd like to build my own base packages. Can this be done with poudriere? In that case, can poudriere, running on a certain OS version, build packages for older versions, like it does for ports? I guess I can still compile the kernel locally on a machine (in case it has some options that differs from GENERIC), right? (Of course I'll have to pay attention to avoid mixing different kernel/userland versions). Is it production ready for 14.3? Ideally I'd like to use poudriere on 14.3 and setup up *new* 14.3 boxes with pkgbase (for now I'm delaying conversion of existing, long standing machines and the upgrade to 15). bye & Thanks av.
