Unfortunately, yes. Yes, we are. That or packages (which is lacking due 
to non-existent build options.) For me, Poudriere has been nothing but a 
headache with a lot of work to obtain said headache (compared to just 
using ports.) Three port updates? Poudriere wants to rebuild 210 ports 
(all with default options, mind you.) When, using portmaster, I can 
simply update the 3 ports and be done with it. That is, of course, if 
the ports build outside of Poudriere (some do not.) In this case, I 
simply mix ports and packages and just deal with it. However, it is 
unfortunate.
