Okay. I originally read the -devel in poudriere-devel as sort of “beta” but
it’s pretty clear that it’s what I should be using. (Maybe the porter’s
handbook should recommend this, in case a person hits a problem).
Are the various hoops the linuxulator jumps through to resolve things
documented somewhere? Right now this is a black box to me.
