How to use packages with Poudriere Image

Phishfry

I have Poudriere Image under my belt for a while.

Now I am trying to add packages to my images.

Let me show my commands.
Create my jail:
poudriere jail -c -j mbm-mfs -v 13.5-RELEASE -K GENERIC -b -m src=/usr/src -J4

Create Ports Tree:
poudriere ports -c -p mbm_ports -m null -M /usr/ports
This seem to give me troubles with null. So I did not use /usr/ports/. Instead I installed git and poudriere built its own ports tree.
poudriere ports -c -p mbm_ports

Build pkglist:
poudriere bulk -j mbm-mfs -p mbm_ports -f mbm-pkglist
This all works but I really want to download packages instead of building them.
So I add the -b flag and quarterly setting.
poudriere bulk -j mbm-mfs -p mbm_ports -f mbm-pkglist -b quarterly
This gives me some packages but still tries to build some ports. I do not understand this logic. It acts like it cannot find some packages.
I am aware of pkg blacklist and whitelist in poudriere.conf.

Can anyone give me advice? Do I need to alter anything in poudiere.conf?

I did change my port name to default.
Code:

So it acts like it is getting packages then starts building.
Here is right before it starts building ports:

Deleting its work "for incremental rebuild needs".

How can I get this thing on all packages?

This is the crippler:
Code: 
[01:07:09] [01] [00:00:00] Building   devel/llvm19@default | llvm19-19.1.7_1
Spent 8 hours on it last night building on a NUC7 and it seemed to be the wrong version with llvm15@default

I think I have it figured out. The ports I built last night were using "-M /usr/ports/" and then I switched to git and its download was newer by grabbing quarterly. 13.5 Installer ports were is older.

So I did delete the ports tree with poudriere ports -d but it looks like the were some lingering items in the /data/cache directory.
That might be causing this problem.. I need delete old files better next time.
 
I wiped the box and reinstalled from scratch. I wanted to start new.

One thing that I have trouble understanding is why if I am building an image with poudriere and I want all packages. Why do I need this step:
poudriere ports -c -p NAME
The reason it exists is to create a ports tree. I don't want that. I want packages. It seems you should be able to skip ports all-together with poudriere bulk and just download packages.

So hack in a variable name for poudriere bulk? The '-b BRANCH' seems to require the ports tree setting '-p NAME'. That is a problem.
There should be a way to just download everything with a pkglist.
-b option needs fixing I believe. Thoughts? Settings I am missing? Do you use the -b option with bulk?
poudriere bulk -j mbm -p mbm_ports -f mbm-pkglist -b quarterly
I am telling it to use a ports tree and packages. No wonder it is confused.

mbm-pkglist
Code: 
misc/ytree
x11/xorg
x11-wm/openbox
11-fm/xfe
x11/tint
astro/gpsd
astro/gpxloggerd

I realize my usage of "packages for everything" goes against the whole concept of poudriere.
But for building MFS images, ports//packages//applicatons need to be pre-installed. I need no port options set. Default packages work for me.

So you can see from my pkglist that llvm19 and rust are needed as dependencies.
I have uncommented them in the poudriere whitelist for trial..

#PACKAGE_FETCH_WHITELIST="gcc* rust llvm*"
Should I just add my 300 packages to this list? It seems excessive and probably won't work....
I have experimented with it and it does not handle dependent ports. So all would be required.
 
Here my two scripts i'm using,

poudriere_nice :
Code: 
nice -n 31 idprio 31 ./poudriere_run
pkg update -f
pkg upgrade

poudriere_run:
Code: 
#poudriere jail  -d          -j pjail2
poudriere jail  -c          -j pjail2 -v 15.0-RELEASE
poudriere ports -c                    -p default2 -m git+https -B 2025Q4
poudriere ports -u                    -p default2
poudriere options           -j pjail2 -p default2 -f ./packagelist.txt
poudriere bulk -b quarterly -j pjail2 -p default2 -f ./packagelist.txt
