jails Possible to use Poudriere to build and install a general purpose Jail from source?

[avner]

I have installed and configured Poudriere and have had success using it to build various ports. Now just getting started with Jails and have followed the instructions in the Handbook, chapter 15.3.1.3., "To build and install a Jail from source", using make buildworld command. This got me wondering that since Poudriere is used to replace the manual make process of building ports is it possible to somehow use Poudriere instead of make buildworld? If so how would this be done?

Not the purpose of poudriere to build the base OS. It's for building packages from ports, nothing more.

If you're looking for a good tool to build jails have a look at sysutils/bastille.

I can also highly recommend sysutils/cbsd from Ole.

In my opinion bsdinstall is sublime for jails. No need for outside tools.

There is a branch called poudriere image which makes OS images.
It is more suited to VM's than jails.
