POUDRIERE-BULK(8) System Manager's Manual POUDRIERE-BULK(8) NAME poudriere bulk -- build a ready-to-export package tree SYNOPSIS poudriere bulk -a -j name [-CcFHIikNnRrSTtvw] [-B name] [-b branch] [-J maxjobs[:prebuildmaxjobs]] [-O overlay [-O overlay2 ...]] [-p tree] [-z set] poudriere bulk -f file [-f file2 ...] -j name [-CcFHIikNnRrSTtvw] [-B name] [-b branch] [-J maxjobs[:prebuildmaxjobs]] [-O overlay [-O overlay2 ...]] [-p tree] [-z set] poudriere bulk -j name [-CcFHIikNnRrSTtvw] [-B name] [-b branch] [-J maxjobs[:prebuildmaxjobs]] [-O overlay [-O overlay2 ...]] [-p tree] [-z set] origin ... DESCRIPTION This command makes a ready-to-export package tree, and fills it with binary packages built from a given list of ports. During the build, hit ^T to send SIGINFO and show stats and progress about the build. See the FLAVORS section in poudriere(8) for supported flavors syntax. See the CUSTOMIZATION section in poudriere(8) to learn how to build binary packages with options that differ from defaults. poudriere will disable make jobs for packages not listed in ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS_PACKAGES, unless ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS is set in poudriere.conf. The number of jobs can be controlled in make.conf with the ports(7) flags MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER and MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER_LIMIT. Beware that there is no global job control so each builder created from -J (or the default PARALLEL_JOBS) will spawn as many jobs as the ports framework allows. SUBCOMMANDS -a Build all ports in the tree with all flavors. -f file Build ports listed in the file. The path to the file has to be absolute. Ports must be specified in the form of "category/port" and sh(1)-style comments are al- lowed. Multiple -f file arguments may be specified at once. OPTIONS -B name Specify which buildname to use. By default YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM:SS will be used. This can be used to resume a previous build and use the same log and URL paths. Resuming a build will not retry built/failed/skipped/ignored packages. -b branch Fetch binary packages from a binary package repository instead of building them. The branch argument can be one of the following: latest, quarterly, release_X (where X is the minor version of a release, e.g., "0"), or url. With this option poudriere will first try to fetch a binary pack- age from the specified binary package repository. poudriere will only use packages that: * come from a repository having the same or older version of pkg. * do not have a locally fetched package already. * are not IGNORED. * match the expected local version. * match the expected ABI. * match the expected runtime and library dependencies. * match the expected OPTIONS when CHECK_CHANGED_OPTIONS is en- abled (default: verbose). * is NOT listed in PACKAGE_FETCH_BLACKLIST. * is NOT listed with -C, or -c, when -t is used. The -v flag can be used to show these decisions during build. Specifing twice will show more details on why some are skipped. WARNING: poudriere has no way of determining differences outside of the above list. That is, if the local ports framework, or port, has custom patches or special WITH_FOO knobs (not OPTIONS) then it is required to add its name into PACKAGE_FETCH_BLACKLIST. Otherwise a package may be fetched and used that lacks the custom patch or knob. See PACKAGE_FETCH_BRANCH, PACKAGE_FETCH_URL, PACKAGE_FETCH_BLACKLIST, and PACKAGE_FETCH_WHITELIST in poudriere.conf.sample. The entries in the lists will be matched against package names without versions. -C Clean only the packages specified on the command line or in the file given by -f file. Implies -c for -a. -c Clean all previously built packages and logs. -F Fetch only from the original MASTER_SITES. Skip FreeBSD mirrors. -H Create a repository where the package filenames contain the short hash of the contents. -I Advanced interactive mode. Leave the jail running with ports installed after building and testing. It is a convenient way to do some additional testing. See poudriere-jail(8) to learn how to stop a running poudriere jail. Similarly to -i, the -I flag will cause pkg.conf(5) to be in- stalled in the jail. -i Interactive mode. Open an interactive shell session in the jail after the build is done and before the clean-up. It is a convenient way to do some additional testing. A local pkg.conf(5) repository configuration will be installed to ${LOCALBASE}/etc/pkg/repos/local.conf so that pkg(8) can be used with any existing packages built for the jail. The default FreeBSD repository will be disabled by default. -J maxjobs[:prebuildmaxjobs] Specify the number of jobs that will run in parallel for a bulk build. The optional second parameter, prebuildmaxjobs, is the number of jobs used for the steps before the build, they are more IO bound than CPU bound, so you may want to use a different num- ber. The default pre-build value is 1.25 times the value of the build value. -j name Run the bulk build on the jail named name. -k Do not consider failures to be fatal when using -t. Do not skip dependent ports on findings. This flag is automatically set when using -at. -N Do not build a package repository when the build is completed. -NN Do not commit, or publish, the package repository when the build is completed. This can be used to do a full test build but have the opportunity to delete it all rather than publish it. The packages will be stored in a .building directory that can be re- moved manually, otherwise the next build will resume from that di- rectory. Depends on ATOMIC_PACKAGE_REPOSITORY being set to yes. -n Dry run. Show what would be done, but do not actually build or delete any packages. -O overlay Specify an extra poudriere-ports(8) tree to use as an overlay. Multiple -O overlay arguments may be specified to stack them. -p tree Specify on which ports tree the bulk build will be done. (Default: "default") -R Clean RESTRICTED packages after building. -r Recursively test all dependencies as well. This flag is automati- cally set when using -at. -S Do not recursively rebuild packages affected by other packages re- quiring incremental rebuild. This may result in broken packages if the ones they depend on are updated, are not ABI-compatible, and were not properly PORTREVISION bumped. -T Try building BROKEN ports by defining TRYBROKEN for the build. -t Add some testing to the specified ports. Add -r to recursively test all port dependencies as well. When used with -a then -rk are implied. -v Enable additional information to be shown during the build. Spec- ify twice to enable debug output. -w Save WRKDIR on build failure. The WRKDIR will be tarred up into ${POUDRIERE_DATA}/wrkdirs. -z set This specifies which SET to use for the build. See the CUSTOMIZATION section in poudriere(8) for examples of how this is used. ENVIRONMENT POUDRIERE_INTERACTIVE_NO_INSTALL If specified, the package is not in- stalled in interactive mode. TERM Passed through for interactive modes.
