Poudriere comes with the ability to view progress via the Web (e.g., using Nginx or Apache). I have that set up and use it if I want to see the current progress of a build (also to easily see build logs for a given port). For a build, it will let you see (amongst other things) the queued ports and the reason for their being queued. > Also a way to stop running builders to let the last (long) runner > terminate before stopping poudriere would be a nice feature. The poudriere.conf file also has various ways of constraining the resource usage of a build, e.g., to prevent heavy resource using ports from using TMPFS, or to prevent multiple "big" ports from being built at the same time (e.g., MUTUALLY_EXCLUSIVE_BUILD_PACKAGES). It's also possible to selectively enable ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS for given packages (ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS_PACKAGES) to speed up building for known choke points. Also, PACKAGE_FETCH_... options can speed up builds by fetching packages rather than building them. Cheers, Paul.
