Where were these reports made?  Next time I'll look it up there first.

I just perused "pkg info -D virtualbox-ose" and don't see a mention of
this, it might be a good idea to add the PORTS_MODULES bit to that
message.  Hmm, nvidia-driver-* doesn't have it either.

googling, I see:

"You can place a list in /etc/src.conf like this:

  PORTS_MODULES= emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod sysutils/fusefs-kmod 
x11/nvidia-driver

  which will cause those modules to be built and installed with all the
  proper matching stuff at the same time as buildkernel and
  installkernel."

I maintain my packages with poudriere.  I build the world+kernel on
another system and install via NFS onto the poudriere package builder.
poudriere keeps its own world in a chroot, of course.  But it doesn't
build a kernel.  Which src.conf should the PORTS_MODULES be added to?

Thanks the help,
Russell
