	Sure that's how the package build works - it uses poudriere to do
the work, but it will run for a very long time unless you have very
powerful hardware and it is unlikely that you actually want more than a
small proportion of the ports. The good news is that you can give poudriere
a list of the ports you really want and it will build just those and the
dependencies. Apart from poudriere you'll probably want a web server -
pretty much any web server will do.

	You can also type cd /usr/ports ; make package. But that will fail
somewhere along the line (conflicting ports if nothing else) and it will
take ages - geological ones most likely. Don't do that.
