NAME
     poudriere -- bulk package builder and port	tester

SYNOPSIS
     poudriere command subcommand [options]

DESCRIPTION
     The poudriere tool	is used	to build packages from the ports tree.	It can
     also be used to test a single port.

GLOBAL OPTIONS
     poudriere accepts a global	option:

     -e	etcdir	  Path to the directory	where poudriere	will find its configu-
		  ration data.	See FILES and ENVIRONMENT for more informa-
		  tion.

     -N		  Disable color	support.

COMMANDS
     The first argument	to poudriere must be a command from the	following
     list:

     bulk	  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 get stats and
		  progress back.

     jail	  This command allows you to manage the	jails used by
		  poudriere which are building environments differing by OS
		  version and architecture.

     ports	  This command allows you to manage different portstrees which
		  will be used by poudriere (create, update and	delete port-
		  strees).

     testport	  This command,	mainly targeted	at ports developers, launches
		  a test on a given port (useful before	submitting/committing
		  a port).

     options	  This command allows to configure the options for a given
		  port

     distclean	  This command will cleanup old	distfiles

     pkgclean	  This command will cleanup old	and unwanted packages

     queue	  This command allows a	non-root user to queue poudriere com-
		  mands.

     status	  This command shows status of current and previous builds

     version	  Show version of poudriere.

SUBCOMMANDS
     Here are the list of subcommands and associated options supported by
     poudriere,	sorted by command order.

   bulk
     These subcommands are mutually exclusive.

     -a		  Build	all ports in the tree.

     -f	file	  Absolute path	to a file which	contains the list of ports to
		  build.  Ports	must be	specified in the form category/port
		  and shell-style comments are allowed.	 Multiple -f file ar-
		  guments may be specified at once.

     cat/port cat/port2	...
		  A list of ports can be specified directly.

     See CUSTOMISATION to know how to build binary packages with options that
     differs from defaults.

     Here are the options associated with the bulk command.

     -B	name	  Specify which	buildname to use.  By default
		  YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM:SS will be used.  This can be used to re-
		  sume a previous build	and use	the same log and URL paths.
		  Resuming a build will	not retry built/failed/skipped/ignored
		  packages.

     -c		  Clean	all previously built packages and logs.

     -C		  Clean	only the packages specified on the command line	or in
		  in the file given in -f file

     -F		  Only fetch from original MASTER_SITES.  Skip FreeBSD mir-
		  rors.

     -j	name	  Run the bulk build on	the jail named name.

     -J	number[:number]
		  This argument	specifies how many number jobs will run	in
		  parallel for a bulk build.  The optional second number 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 number.

     -i		  Interactive mode.  Enter jail	for interactive	testing	and
		  automatically	cleanup	when done.  A local pkg.conf(5)	repos-
		  itory	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
		  FreeBSD repository will be disabled by default.

     -I		  Advanced Interactive mode.  Leaves jail running with ports
		  installed after test.	 When done with	the jail you will need
		  to manually shut it down:
			poudriere jail -k -j JAILNAME.
		  As with -i this will install a pkg.conf(5) file for pkg(8)
		  usage.

     -n		  Dry run. Show	what woud be done, but do not actually build
		  or delete any	packages.

     -N		  Do not build package repository or INDEX when	build is com-
		  pleted.

     -p	tree	  This flag specifies on which ports tree the bulk build will
		  be done.

     -R		  Clean	RESTRICTED packages after building.

     -s		  Skip incremental rebuild and sanity checks.  Sanity tests
		  are made to check if the ports exists, does not have an in-
		  creased version number, packaged dependencies	match, pkgname
		  matches, if the compiled options match the current options
		  from the make.conf files and
		  /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options, and that its own depen-
		  dencies did not require rebuild as well.

     -S		  Don't	recrusively rebuild packages affected by other pack-
		  ages requiring incremental rebuild.  This is a subset	of -s.
		  This may result in broken packages if	the ones they depend
		  on are updated and are not ABI-compatible.

     -t		  Add some testing to the specified ports.  Add	-r to recur-
		  sively test all port dependencies as well.  Currently	unin-
		  stalls the port, and disable parallel	jobs for make.	When
		  used with -a then -rk	are implied.

     -r		  Recursively test all dependencies as well.  This flag	is au-
		  tomatically set when using -at.

     -k		  When using -t	do not consider	failures as fatal.  Do not
		  skip dependent ports on findings.  This flag is automati-
		  cally	set when using -at.

     -T		  Try building BROKEN ports by defining	TRYBROKEN for the
		  build.

     -w		  Save WRKDIR on build failure.	 The WRKDIR will be tarred up
		  into ${POUDRIERE_DATA}/wrkdirs.

     -v		  This will show more information during the build.  Specify
		  twice	to enable debug	output.

     -z	set	  This specifies which SET to use for the build.  See
		  CUSTOMISATION	for examples of	how this is used.

   jail
     These subcommands are mutually exclusive.

     -c		  Creates a jail.

     -d		  Deletes a jail.

     -i		  Show information about a jail.  See also status.

     -l		  List all available jails.

     -n		  When combined	with -l, only display jail name.

     -s		  Starts a jail.

     -k		  Kills	a jail (stops it).

     -r	name	  Rename a jail	to name.

     -u		  Update a jail.

     Except for	-l, all	of the subcommands require the -j option (see below).

     Here are the options associated with the jail command.

     -J	number	  This argument	specifies how many number jobs will run	in
		  parallel for buildworld.

     -q		  Remove the header when -l is the specified mandatory option.
		  Otherwise, it	has no effect.

     -j	name	  Specifies the	name of	the jail.

     -v	version	  Specifies which version of FreeBSD to	use in the jail.  If
		  you are using	method ftp then	the version should in the form
		  of: 9.0-RELEASE.  If you are using method csup then the
		  version should be in the form	of cvs branches: RELENG_9 or .
		  for current.	If you are using method	svn then the version
		  should be in the form	of svn branches: stable/9 or head for
		  current.

     -a	architecture
		  Specifies which architecture of FreeBSD to use in the	jail.
		  (Default: same as host)

     -m	method	  Specifies which method to use	to create the jail.  (default:
		  ftp)

		  Pre-built distribution options:

		  allbsd	     Use www.allbsd.org.

		  ftp http	     Fetch from	configured FREEBSD_HOST	vari-
				     able from poudriere.conf.

		  freebsd-archive    Fetch from	ftp-archive.freebsd.org.

		  null		     This option can be	used to	import an ex-
				     isting directory that already contains an
				     installed system.	The path must be spec-
				     ified with	-M path.  It is	expected that
				     this directory be installed to with the
				     following:

					   /usr/src# make installworld DESTDIR=PATH DB_FROM_SRC=1
					   /usr/src# make distrib-dirs DESTDIR=PATH DB_FROM_SRC=1
					   /usr/src# make distribution DESTDIR=PATH DB_FROM_SRC=1

				     The path will be null-mounted during
				     builds.  It will not be copied at the
				     time of running jail.  Deleting the jail
				     will attempt to revert any	files changed
				     by	poudriere.

		  src=PATH	     Install from the given src	directory at
				     PATH.  This directory will	not be built
				     from.  It is expected that	it is already
				     built and maps to a corresponding
				     /usr/obj directory.

		  tar=PATH	     Install from the tarball at the given
				     PATH.  Note that this method requires the
				     tarball contains the /usr/src files as
				     well if you plan to build any port	con-
				     taining modules.

		  url=PATH	     Fetch from	given PATH.  Any URL supported
				     by	fetch(1) can be	used.  For example:
					   url=file:///mirror/10.0

		  Build	from source options:

		  csup		     Use legacy	CVS repository.

		  svn svn+file svn+http	svn+https
				     Use SVN.  This will use the SVN_HOST
				     variable in poudriere.conf.

     -f	filesystem
		  Specifies the	filesystem name	(${ZPOOL}/jails/filesystem).

     -M	mountpoint
		  Gives	an alternative mountpoint when creating	jail.

     -p	name	  This specifies which port tree to start/stop the jail	with.

     -P	patch	  Apply	the specified patch to the source tree before building
		  the jail.

     -t	version	  instead of upgrading to the latest security fix of the jail
		  version, you can jump	to the new specified version.

     -z	set	  This specifies which SET to start/stop the jail with.

     -x		  Build	the native-xbuild target and copy this into the	jail.
		  Used exclusively for cross building a	ports set, typically
		  via qemu-user	tools.

   ports
     These subcommands are mutually exclusive.

     -c		  Creates a ports tree.

     -d		  Deletes a ports tree.

     -u		  Updates a ports tree.

     -l		  List all available ports trees.

     Except for	-l, all	of the subcommands require the -p switch (see below).

     Here are the options associated with the ports command.

     -q		  Remove the header when -l is the specified subcommand.  Oth-
		  erwise, it has no effect.

     -p	name	  Specifies the	name of	the ports tree to use.

     -F		  When used with -c, only create the needed ZFS	file systems
		  and directories, but do not populate them.

     -f	filesystem
		  Specifies the	filesystem name	(${ZPOOL}/jails/filesystem).

     -M	mountpoint
		  Gives	an alternative mountpoint when creating	ports tree.

     -m	method	  Specifies which method to use	to create the ports tree.
		  Could	be portsnap, git, svn{,+http,+https,+file,+ssh}	(De-
		  fault: portsnap).

     -v		  Show more verbose output.

     -B	branch	  Specifies which branch to checkout when using	the svn	or git
		  methods.  (Default: head/master)

     -k		  When used with -d, only unregister the ports tree with out
		  removing the files.

   testport
     The specified port	will be	tested for build and packaging problems.  All
     missing dependencies will first be	built in parallel.  TRYBROKEN=yes is
     automatically defined in the environment to test ports marked as BROKEN.

     There is only 1 subcommand	for the	testport command.

		  used with any	existing packages built	for the	jail.  The
		  FreeBSD repository will be disabled by default.

     -I		  Advanced Interactive mode.  Leaves jail running with port
		  installed after test.	 When done with	the jail you will need
		  to manually shut it down:
			poudriere jail -k -j JAILNAME.
		  As with -i this will install a pkg.conf(5) file for pkg(8)
		  usage.

     -j	name	  Runs only inside the jail named name.

     -J	number	  This argument	specifies how many number jobs will run	in

     -k		  Do not consider failures as fatal.  Find all failures.

     -P		  Use custom prefix.

     -N		  Do not build package repository or INDEX when	build of de-
		  pendencies is	completed.

     -p	tree	  Specifies which ports	tree to	use.

     -s		  Skip incremental rebuild and sanity checks.  Sanity tests
		  are made to check if the ports exists, does not have an in-
		  creased version number, packaged dependencies	match, pkgname
		  matches, if the compiled options match the current options
		  from the make.conf files and
		  /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options, and that its own depen-
		  dencies did not require rebuild as well.

     -S		  Don't	recrusively rebuild packages affected by other pack-

     -v		  This will show more information during the build.  Specify
		  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
		  CUSTOMISATION	for examples of	how this is used.

   distclean
     This command accepts the following	options:

     -J	number	  This argument	specifies how many number jobs will run	in
		  parallel for gathering distfile information.

     -n		  Dry run, do not actually delete anything.

     -p	tree	  Specifies which ports	tree to	use.  This can be specified
		  multiple times to consider multiple tress.

     -y		  Assume yes, do not confirm and just delete the files.

     -v		  This will show more information during the build.  Specify

     These subcommands are mutually exclusive.

     -a		  Keep all ports in the	tree.

     -f	file	  Absolute path	to a file which	contains the list of ports to

		  shell-style comments are allowed.  Multiple -f file argu-
		  ments	may be specified at once.

     cat/port cat/port2	...
		  A list of ports can be specified directly.

     Here are the options associated with the pkgclean command.	 This command
     accepts the following options:

		  A list of ports can be specified directly.

     This command accepts the following	options:

     -c		  Use 'config' target, which will always show the dialog for
		  the given ports.

     -C		  Use 'config-conditional' target, which will only bring up

		    Defaults to	/usr/local/etc.

FILES
     POUDRIERE_ETC/poudriere.conf	       See self-documented
					       /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf.sample
					       for example.
     POUDRIERE_ETC/poudriere.d/poudriere.conf  The configuration can be	stored
					       in the poudriere.d directory as
					       well.
     POUDRIERE_ETC/poudriere.d		       This directory contains various
					       configuration files for the
					       different jails.

EXIT STATUS
     The poudriere utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES
   bulk	build of binary	packages
     This first	example	provides a guide on how	to use poudriere for bulk
     build packages.

     [Prepare infrastructure]

     First you have to create a	jail, which will hold all the building infra-
     structure needs.

	   poudriere jail -c -v	8.2-RELEASE -a amd64 -j	82amd64

     A jail will take approximately 3GB	of space.

     Of	course you can use another version of FreeBSD, regarless on what ver-
     sion you are running.  amd64 users	can choose i386	arch like in this ex-
     ample:

	   poudriere jail -c -v	8.1-RELEASE -a i386 -j 81i386

     This command will fetch and install a minimal jail, small (~400MB)	so you
     can create	a lot of them.	It will	install	the jail under the pool	you
     have chosen, at poudriere/jailname.

     You also need to have at least one	ports tree to build packages from it,
     so	let us take the	default	configuration by creating a ports tree.

	   poudriere ports -c

     A ports tree will take approximately 4GB of space.

     [Specify a	list of	ports you want to build]

     Create a flat text	file in	which you put the ports	you want to see	built
     by	poudriere.

	   echo	'sysutils/screen' > ~/pkglist
	   echo	'editors/vim' >> ~/pkglist

     Any line starting with the	hash sign will be treated as a comment.

     [Launch the bulk build]

     Now you can launch	the bulk build.	 You can specify to build for only one
     arch/version ; by default it will make the	bulk build on all the jails
     created by	poudriere.
	   poudriere bulk -f ~/pkglist -j 81i386

     [Find your	packages]

     Once the bulk build is over, you can meet your shiny new packages here:

	   /usr/local/poudriere_data/packages/81i386

     with 81i386 as the	name of	the jail.

   test	a single port
     This second example show how to use poudriere for a single	port.

     Let's take	the example of building	a single port;

	   poudriere testport -o category/port -j myjail

     all the tests will	be done	in myjail.

     It	starts the jail, then mount the	ports tree (nullfs), then mounts the
     package dir (pourdriere_data/packages/<jailname>-<tree>-<setname>), then
     it	mounts the ~/ports-cvs/mybeautifulporttotest (nullfs) it builds	all
     the dependencies (except runtime ones) and	log it to
     poudriere_data/logs/testport/jailname/default/mybeautifulporttotest.log).

     If	packages for the dependencies already exists it	will use them

     When all the dependencies are built, packages for them are	created	so
     that next time it will be faster.

     All the dependency	phase is done with PREFIX == LOCALBASE.

     After that	it will	build the port itself with LOCALBASE !=	PREFIX and log
     the build to poudriere_data/logs/testport/jailname/default/mybeautiful-
     porttotest.log

     It	will try to: install it, create	a package from it, deinstall it, check
     for cruft left behind and propose the line	to add to pkg-plist if needed.

     It	is very	easy to	extend it so that we can easily	add other tests	if
     wanted.

CUSTOMISATION
     For bulk building,	you can	customize binary packages produced by
     poudriere by changing build options port by port, and you can also	spec-
     ify building directives in	a make.conf file.

   Custom build	options
     Before building a package,	poudriere can mount a directory	containing op-
     tion files	if available.  poudriere will check for	any of these directo-
     ries in this order:

	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<tree>-<setname>-options
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<setname>-options
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<tree>-options
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<setname>-options
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<tree>-options
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-options
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options

     If	a directory with this name exists, it is null-mounted into the
     /var/db/ports/ directory of the jail, thus	allowing to build package with
     custom OPTIONS.

     The options subcommand can	be used	to easily configure options in the
     correct directory.

     This directory has	the usual layout for options: it contains one direc-
     tory per port (the	name of	the port) containing an	'options' file with
     lines similar to:

	   WITH_FOO=true
	   WITHOUT_BAR=true

     As	a starter, you may want	to copy	an existing /var/db/ports/ to /usr/lo-
     cal/etc/poudriere.d/options.

   Blacklist ports
     You can also specify a blacklist which will disallow the lists port ori-
     gins from building	on the matched jail.  Any of the following are allowed
     and will all be used in the order shown:

	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/blacklist
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<setname>-blacklist
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<tree>-blacklist
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-blacklist
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<tree>-blacklist
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<setname>-blacklist
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<tree>-<setname>-blacklist

   Create optional poudriere.conf
     You can also specify an optional poudriere.conf that is pulled in depend-
     ing on the	build.	Any of the following are allowed and will all be used
     in	the order shown:

	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/poudriere.conf

   Create optional make.conf
     You can also specify a global make.conf which will	be used	for all	the
     jails.  Any of the	following are allowed and will all be used in the or-
     der shown:

	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<setname>-make.conf
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<tree>-make.conf

	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<tree>-make.conf
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<setname>-make.conf
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<tree>-<setname>-make.conf

   Create optional src.conf
     You can also specify a global src.conf which will be used for building
     jails with	the jail -c subcommand.	 Any of	the following are allowed and
     will all be used in the order shown:

	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/src.conf
	   /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-src.conf

COMPATIBILITY
     The poudriere command must	be used	on a recent version of FreeBSD,	i.e. a
     version which has ZFS >= v15, and a zpool.

CAVEATS
   Jailname
     -j	is the name of the jail	which will also	be the name of the zfs
     filesystem.

     Be	careful	to respects the	names supported	by jail(8):

	 "This is an arbitrary string that identifies a	jail (except it
	  may not contain a '.')"

     Be	also careful to	not begin the name of the jail by a number if you are
     not in -stable or current:
