Hmmm, wonder why I didn't think of that?

I've been trying to get poudriere working....I did go through the ugly
exercise of going through all my servers to attempt to unify port options.
Currently trying to go with two sets....one for my headless servers and one
for servers with heads :)  Though there's still enough difference that it
might not be possible.  Though I've also thought of additional sets to
generate packages for updates I haven't done yet (which is one of reasons
driving trying to get things working, I haven't upgraded from apache 2.2 to
2.4 yet)

What I settled on instead of to create a tree with my extra patches, and use
portshaker to merge....

Other delays in getting this going, is that I've been trying to use CFEngine
to handle the consolidation of options and pkglists and driving portshaker and
poudriere....

I did a bulk run of everything from my headless servers this morning....of
622, only one failed, one skipped, and one ignored.

The failed port was 'x11-toolkits/ocaml-lablgtk2', could probably get around
it by changing port option for no-X11 for unison on these servers.  The
skipped port was unison, where the failed port is a dependency.  Probably
don't need X11 graphics support in unison on these servers.... (even though
one of the servers starts Xvfb during boot....because it runs an application
that needs X during startup, but never again once its running....Linux version
probably has the same weird issue, except none of my Linux servers were
headless...so it was never noticed.  Killed off the last Linux server on
August 10th...)  Which is why I didn't do "OPTIONS_UNSET= X11" in make.conf
for this set....but I almost did.

The ignored port was because I had missed setting a required setting in
make.conf (its missing on all my servers...but haven't had to update that port
since it got installed, so didn't notice the settings had disappeared.)

Now I'm having trouble because I have ports installed (namely gnome related)
that had long ago disappeared....

Wonder if there's still time to now see what ports I have installed that
haven't been staged yet?
