poudriere builds packages into jenga.den:/srv/www/root/packages/cdnjail-cdn/ using ports tree cdn and jail cdnjail

portmaster ports-mgmt/poudriere

This stuff goes on the ports-tree-less target box:

Using this method, /usr/ports MUST NOT EXIST WHATSOEVER OR PORTMASTER WILL BITCH AT YOU WITH AN UNINTELLIGIBLE ERROR MESSAGE THAT YOU WILL SPEND HOURS TRYING TO DEBUG BEFORE JUST DELETING THE DIRECTORY AND FUCK.

/usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc

# Look for INDEX-9.bz2 here
MASTER_SITE_INDEX=http://jenga.den.cyberleo.net/packages/cdnjail-cdn/
# Look for packages here; should point to the directory containing All, Latest, et alia
PACKAGESITE=${MASTER_SITE_INDEX}
# Store the downloaded packages here

Install portmaster and cdn-base from newly configured repo

PACKAGESITE=http://jenga.den.cyberleo.net/packages/cdnjail-cdn/Latest/ pkg_add -r portmaster
portmaster misc-cdn/cdn-base

Check that ports are up to date without updating anything

portmaster -an
