Seconded. This has been an issue for me this weekend with the perl default changing to 5.18 and the gettext port split but the packages in the FreeBSD repo are still using the old default for perl and the old version for gettext whereas my local repo (with custom options) are using the new settings/ports.

My preference would be to keep my local ports tree for poudriere exactly in sync with the package build port tree and to have a date/time when the repo has also been fully rebuilt so that I can run updates that will not try to pull in outdated packages. Is this position possible?

My solution for this weekend has been to return to the old-faithful portupgrade and rebuild all affected ports from my current ports tree.

Cheers

Simon.

I have been using poudriere for a while to build packages locally.  I
recently reduced the package server to just the ports that I need to
have custom options.  I want to rely on the freebsd pkgs as much as I
can.

However, this has proven difficult because my ports directory is often
ahead of the one that corresponded to the latest set of binary
packages.  I read where packages are build off of a snapshot of the
ports tree on every wednesday.

Is this snapshot saved anywhere?  If so, I would like to be able to
sync my local ports directory against it.  If not, I would like to
request such ability.
