extremely lightweight (and imperfect) package build and deployment system

hi!

Ideally I would like to be able to follow these steps on my build machine:

cd /usr/local/ports/my_overlay/security/strongswan
make # obtain strongwan-6.0.1.pkg
# copy pkg file to a http document root

(optional) on a target server:
append to /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf a new url that would only provide my package
pkg update # but make it pick and download the package from my url

let's pretend that the run time dependencies are always met for my package on the target server.
I know that poudriere exists, but it's not optimal for this particular use case (I want to keep the target server 99.9999999% based on official packages and only patch one or two). Also I cannot build the package directly on the target server.

so my questions would be these:
1. how do I intercept the pkg file that gets created during make above? I can even 'make install' on the build machine but the pkg is nowhere to be found in /var/cache/pkg ...
2. how do I create data.pkg, packagesite.pkg in that document root for pkg's consumption?

many thanks.

make pkg?

tried that but no pkg seem to be generated

Code: 
sunspire /usr/local/ports/security/strongswan # make clean
===>  Cleaning for strongswan-6.0.1
sunspire /usr/local/ports/security/strongswan # make 1>log && echo ok
ok
sunspire /usr/local/ports/security/strongswan # truss make pkg

ok,
Code: 
pkg create strongswan
did create the package after it was installed by make. thanks.

Create a pkg.conf file like in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf (i.e. /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/mypackages.conf and set a high priority value (consult pkg.conf(8)) . You might want to sign the repository, see pkg-repo(8).
 
thank you. your pointers proved to be pure gold.

a small change was needed here (based on bsd.port.mk). if 'PACKAGES' is undefined (which was my case) then 'make package' would plonk the pkg in the work/pkg dir only.

so had to do
Code: 
mkdir -p /tmp/FreeBSD/packages/All
echo 'PACKAGES=/tmp/FreeBSD/packages' >> /etc/make.conf

and then 'make package' will copy the file to '/tmp/FreeBSD/packages/All' as well.

btw, is there an equivalent to this comprehensive wiki for the development side of ports, pkg and make.conf options?

A bit of follow-ups.
Running `make package` in a single ports (or single ports in an overlay) would generate pkg under pkg directory (in x11/nvidia-driver's case, under x11/nvidia-driver/work/pkg/) by default using staged files under stage directory (like x11/nvidia-driver/work/stage/).
 
And if using multiple repo defined mangles something (i.e., conflicting dependencies as of differences in OPTIONS between official and local repo), adding -r reponame in the pkg command line would help. I.e., if the local repo name is custom, something like pkg upgrade -r custom. This forces pkg to use local repo only.
