Greetings all,
I am using packages about 99+% of the time, but I am trying to experiment with using the audio packages for a cross-over. Thus, I need to build some of the packages with different options. Since this will represent minor number of packages I have set up ports-mgmt/synth instead of ports-mgmt/poudriere.
I have been following T-Aoki's recommendation here https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-use-ports-and-packages-system-together.97877/#post-701922, so it seems to work well, but I have some concerns:
1. If I do not install a package immediately upon its build, how do I cause ports-mgmt/pkg to install from the Synth repository for the built packages and from the FreeBSD repository for the other packages? I read the pkg.conf(), but I did not find away of configuring this.
2. How do I prevent
3. Based on what I read about ports-mgmt/poudriere, it does not seem like it would solve my problem, apart, of course, of building every package, which I do not want to do.
Kindest regards,
M

pkg upgrade to overwrite the Synth-built packages. Locking these packages does not seem like a smart idea, I would rather re-build them before upgrading. Can I somehow list the packages to be upgraded and compare them to my list?3.
