Ports Jail

Hi Guys,

I noticed in some of the other threads people were building ports in a jail.. just wondering if someone could explain the jist of that.. or how one would go about creating it? or even migrating to a ports jail from a guest with portmaster and built ports.

I'm guessing the basic concept is create a jail, download ports and update as normal.. then run portmaster www/firefox .. you end up with a binary.. and copy that to the host? .. or do you set up a repository and change pkg to use your own?

I had a look for a how to, but not sure exactly what Im looking for..

i guess if its possible to build a jailed repo.. I would need to figure out how to also rebuild all my installed ports from that ..


thanks!
 
oh cool, ok thanks.. will this require rebuilding all of the ports I have already built with portmaster?

Both tools spawn jails to build each individual port in a clean environment. This will ensure the dependency chain is correct.
