For a while now, I've been using poudriere image to build gold VM disk images.
When I upgraded my poudriere build server to 14.0-RELEASE, something broke and I'm looking around and seeing if there are better ways to do it.
I'm trying release.sh now, but at least for the initial build, it's looking like it will take 3-4 hours to build the image. I'm not sure if subsequent builds will be faster.
I don't really have a need to build base, I'd be fine with just using the .txz archives if possible. Is there a way to run the packaging steps of the release.sh script, but fetch binary components instead of building world+kernel?
...or is there another method to do what I want to achieve, which is to build a VM image with ZFS, a selection of packages and a few config tweaks?
It has to be possible to automate (we're using ansible to build the image with poudriere today) and to be as close to pristine as possible, since we use the image as a template that we clone our VM's from.
