Have you been successful installing some selected packages from your
own poudriere and others from pkg.freebsd.org?

I tried several times and encountered problems with dependencies, so now
I compile *all* packages in poudriere and use *only* my poudriere as a
repo. 

Quite time-consuming I must say: I cannot make poudriere fetch some
packages in binary form, I think there is no support for that. So I end
up compiling llvm, go, rust and other heavy stuff by myself.

If you have know-how about mixing repos, please share it.
