HowTo

Change the private key which is used to sign the packages?

First you need to create a new key pair.

openssl genrsa -out files/poudriere.key 4096
openssl rsa -in files/poudriere.key -pubout -out files/poudriere.key.pub

Add the newly create private key to your playbook (site.yml).

poudriere_key_file: './files/poudriere.key'

Specify the list of packages to build?

Create a new file which contains a list of all packages you want to build.

cat <<EOF >> files/port.list
www/nginx
net-p2p/btsync
EOF

Configure the playbook (site.yml) to use your own packages list.

poudriere_port_list_file: './files/port.list'

Set build options for specific packages?

Options for you build can be set easily by creating your own make.conf file.

cat <<EOF >> ./files/make.conf
OPTIONS_UNSET+= DOCS NLS X11 EXAMPLES
EOF

Add the file to the playbook (site.yml).

poudriere_build_options_file: './files/make.conf'

Build packages for more then one FreeBSD version?

Add more entries to the list of jails poudriere_jails in you playbook (site.yml).

poudriere_jails:
  - { jail_name: 'freebsd-11_2_x64', version: '11.2-RELEASE' }

The configuration above instructs poudriere to create packages for the three versions (10.1, 10.2, 10.3) of FreeBSD.
