Release Notes

3.2

  • New sub-command 'image' which is still in development, for generating install images.
  • Some poudriered fixes, but it is still experimental.
  • DISTFILES_CACHES may be 'no' to use distfiles/ from ports tree.
  • A cache daemon has been added in, off by default, for experimentation.
  • The ports 'environment' feature from Mk/Scripts/functions.sh:export_ports_env is used for dependency gathering now, which avoids 8 or so fork/execs for every make -V call.
  • Switch BUILD_AS_NON_ROOT as default to on.

jail:

  • New -K [KERNCONF] flag to build and install a kernel into the jail.
  • New -S flag to specify what srcpath to use from the master jail, rather than /usr/src.
  • Git support.
  • New -U flag to specify what url to fetch from for git and svn.
  • EXTRA_DISTS added to add to the distribution list fetched/extracted, from poudriere.conf.
  • NO_LIB32 added, when set to 'yes' skips installing lib32 distribution.

ports:

  • Support '-m none' to disable portsnap usage.
  • New -U flag to specify what url to fetch from for git and svn.

Build process handling:

  • A jexecd process is spawned in the jail and communicated with via rexec using a pipe. This is intended to lessen the jail locking contention, allow more easily cleaning up processes, and limiting of TTY. It is still considered experimental.
