Poudriere

[Geezer]

Does poudriere take longer each time, or is my computer getting slower?

Poudriere appears not yet to be using pkgbase to create and upgrade jails (and nor am I). Is poudriere going to go through a change to use pkgbase?

It's been able to use pkgbase for quite some time now. Doesn't use it by default though. It also won't 'magically' convert your existing jails.

pkgbase[=repository_path]
				     Install from the given pkgbase repository
				     at	path from the given  -U	 url.	If  no
				     path  is specified, defaults to the offi-
				     cial FreeBSD  pkgbase  server,  in	 which
				     case -U must not be provided.

				     Note that building	kernel module will not
				     be	 possible  as there is no package with
				     the source	code.

Does poudriere take longer each time

When you rebuild something over and over, some ports can take advantage of devel/ccache which can speed up the build for you. It's basically build cache. Personally I do use it and I can say that devel/llvm19 (most obvious) builds way faster than before.

Is it going faster again when you reboot?

I am using ccache, and it does make a big difference.

The time to do a bulk as a whole, depends on the port that takes the longest. This appears to be chromium. Maybe chromium is getting heavier.

Chromium has very large (RAM-wise) linker phases. If you have only 1 GB per hardware thread you will swap to death.
