Poudriere bug report

[John Nielsen]

Hello-

First off, thanks for all your work on poudriere and pkg, both are already making my life easier.

I have an amd64 host running FreeBSD 10-STABLE which I use as a build host for another box with an Alix board (geode processor). I have, among other settings, "CPUTYPE=geode" in the make.conf for the poudriere 32-bit Alix jail. I've built packages for the Alix using poudriere before, but today I hit a snag. Running this command:

# poudriere options -f /home/john/alix_ports.txt -j alix

attempted to build dialog4ports numerous times, and each failed with this error (full text from one failure below):
error: unknown target CPU 'geode'

Since I didn't have dialog4ports installed on the host, I assume the "make config" job was trying to build it--apparently using the jail's generated "make.conf" from /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/alix-make.conf. The 64-bit host doesn't know about the 32-bit geode CPU target, so it failed.

Probably this doesn't happen very often (I was only missing dialog4ports on the host because I pruned a whole bunch of packages prior to a recent upgrade), but building anything for the host using anything other than the real /etc/make.conf seems like a bad idea.

I was able to work around the problem by installing dialog4ports on the host myself before invoking "poudriere options". There are obviously a few ways to prevent this from happening, but here is my suggestion:
 * check for the existence of dialog4ports on the host before allowing "poudriere options" to run
 * If it doesn't exist, fail with an error message suggesting that the user either install dialog4ports on the host via "pkg install" or other means, or allow poudriere to work around the problem
 * add a flag or command to poudriere allowing it to build and install dialog4ports using the host's /etc/make.conf and whatever ports tree the user specifies (or poudriere's "default" tree by default), either separately from or prior to "poudriere options".

Thanks!
