rebuilding noauto pkgs from ports.

[angry_vincent]

I want to rebuild pkgs installed with pkg from ports. I *know* poudriere is de-facto a standard tool to achieve this, but I do not want to use it. Ideally to have clean environment like jail? If there is someone who tried this out, i will be pleased to have notes, guides. I have no good explanation why i want to avoid using poudriere, I just do not want and that's it.

Back in the early days that's how I built my packages. I created a 'blank' jail, then in that jail built everything I needed ( make package-recursive). Every time I needed to update my packages I wiped the jail, set up a new 'blank' one and started building everything again.

That's essentially what the package build tools do (both poudriere and Synth), they just automated the whole process. And start a new 'blank' jail for each package they want to build.

Was there any written steps saved?

Not much to document, jail(8) will tell you how to set up a jail, and ports(7) explains how to build ports and create packages. And instructions for both can also be found in the handbook. You just have to combine the two.
