NAME

poudriere —

bulk package builder and port tester

SYNOPSIS

`poudriere`	`poudriere-options` `command` [ `command-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 the following global options.

-e etcdir: Path to the directory where poudriere will find its configuration data. See FILES and ENVIRONMENT for more information.
-A: Force color support, even if not in a TTY.
-N: Disable color support.
-v: This will show more information during the build. Specify twice to enable debug output.

COMMANDS

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

bulk (poudriere-bulk(8)): 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.
image (poudriere-image(8)): This command creates images.
jail (poudriere-jail(8)): This command manages the poudriere jails which are used as different building environments.
ports (poudriere-ports(8)): This command provides management of different portstrees which will be used by poudriere.
testport (poudriere-testport(8)): This command, mainly targeted at ports developers, launches a test on a given port (useful before submitting/committing a port).
options (poudriere-options(8)): This command configures the options for a given port
logclean (poudriere-logclean(8)): This command will cleanup old logfiles
distclean (poudriere-distclean(8)): This command will cleanup old distfiles
pkgclean (poudriere-pkgclean(8)): This command will cleanup old and unwanted packages
queue (poudriere-queue(8)): This command allows a non-root user to queue poudriere commands. It is currently EXPERIMENTAL. Using it requires starting poudriered via the provided rc script.
status (poudriere-status(8)): This command shows status of current and previous builds
version (poudriere-version(8)): Show version of poudriere.

ENVIRONMENT

The poudriere command may use the following environment variable:

FETCH_BIND_ADDRESS: The bind address used by fetch(1) for jail. See fetch(3) for more details.
HTTP_PROXY FTP_PROXY: The proxy configuration for ports and jail. See fetch(3) for other supported proxy environment variables.
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX: Passes through for jail builds.
POUDRIERE_ETC: If specified, the path to poudriere's config directory. Defaults to /usr/local/etc.
UMASK: The umask for files created by poudriere. Defaults to 022.

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 specific 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 infrastructure 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, regardless of what version you are running. amd64 users can choose i386 arch like in this example:

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, so let us take the default configuration and create 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. At minimum the jail and list of packages to build must be specified.

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. 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 (poudriere/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 exist, then poudriere 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/mybeautifulporttotest.log

Poudriere 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.

Poudriere is very easy to extend so that additional tests can be easily added.

FLAVORS

bulk -a will build all FLAVORS for each port. Otherwise bulk and testport use the following rules:

A FLAVOR of bar for port devel/foo is specified as devel/foo@bar.

If FLAVOR_DEFAULT_ALL is not set, or is set to no (the default), in poudriere.conf, then:

All FLAVORS for a port, without a specified FLAVOR, will be built using the FLAVOR all: devel/foo@all.
The first (default) FLAVOR for a port is built by not specifying a FLAVOR: devel/foo.

If FLAVOR_DEFAULT_ALL is set to yes in poudriere.conf, then:

All FLAVORS for a port, without a specified FLAVOR, will be built: devel/foo.
The first (default) FLAVOR for a port is built by specifying the FLAVOR -: devel/foo@-

Known issues

An invalid FLAVOR for a port will cause an error during dependency calculation.
MOVED entries do not support a source FLAVOR, only a target one.

CUSTOMISATION

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

Custom build options

Before building a package, poudriere can mount a directory containing option files if available. poudriere will check for any of these directories 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/<tree>-<setname>-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 directory 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/local/etc/poudriere.d/options.

Blacklist ports

You can also specify a blacklist which will disallow the lists port origins 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/<tree>-<setname>-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

If QEMU is being used then a special qemu blacklist is also loaded.

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/qemu-blacklist

Create optional poudriere.conf

You can also specify an optional poudriere.conf that is pulled in depending 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/hooks/plugins/<plugin>/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/<setname>-src.conf

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

Create optional src-env.conf

You can also specify a global src-env.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-env.conf

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

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

Hooks

Hook scripts may be loaded in any of the following paths:

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/hooks/<hook>.sh

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/hooks/plugins/<plugin>/<hook>.sh
