- j0e1 8y ago>BAPT: Since we switched to poudriere we are able to provide updates of binary packages almost everyday for the stable and head branches of the ports tree. >While working on that we have leverage all FreeBSD features: - Jails: all build are done inside a jail with-out network access - ZFS: to fast populate the jails and ensurewe are always building in a clean room - tmpfs(5)17: for fast I/O - smp(4)18: yes we can use more than 24cores :)
