My apologies, I missed the replies from Matthew and Baptiste.  They weren't
in my mailbox, saw them while browsing mailing list.

We have clusters of 13 box each. Only 1 cluster is running Current and
using pkgng, and is just for testing/playing. (Other clusters just upgraded
to 9.1)

I try using poudriere, setting up a repo for this cluster. (I guess later a
repo per each different configured cluster)

Thanks for the help and information.
Not sure I understand it yet, but that's what this 'devel' cluster is for.
