Keeping -CURRENT up to date with Poudriere

[Ultima]

Poudriere will update based on how it initially was created
unless it was modified in
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/jails/$JAIL/method. For the
-STABLE and -CURRENT branch, It *may* somehow be
obtained another way, but usually it has to be compiled
from the respected branch. So it needs to be manually
compiled in /usr/src before doing a poudriere update.

The way I handle multiple branches is adding adding
multiple in /usr/src, eg /usr/src/head, /usr/src/11-stable,
then setting the src in that directory with obj in it as well.

/usr/src/head/src and obj /usr/src/head/obj the method
will need to be set to src=/usr/src/head/src and object
export MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/src/head/obj in the
${JAIL}-poudriere.conf.

I also make a dataset for each target branch so it can
be zfs send/received.


I hope this helps
