Poudriere setup to build ports locally

See https://blog.bapt.name/2024/08/31/building-freebsd-ports/.

Obsidian

There is port for Obsidian, but due to licences issues it connot be redistributed. It's convenient to build it using poudriere.

The build will be done using a set named obsidian, in order to allow to configure make only for this package.

# Add obisidian to the package list
doas echo "textproc/obsidian" > /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/obsidian-pkglist
doas echo "DISABLE_LICENSES=yes" > /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/obsidian-make.conf
# Build obsidian using poudriere, and using the obsidian set
doas poudriere bulk -f /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/obsidian-pkglist -j 14-1-amd64 -p main -z obsidian -v -v
# Add repos definition
doas mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
doas vim /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/obsidian.conf
Obsidian: {
  url: "file:///poudriere/data/packages/14-1-amd64-main-obsidian"
}
doas pkg update
pkg search -Q repository obsidian
doas pkg install obsidian

rbw

There is currently no official port for Obsidian. It's convenient to build it using poudriere.

# Add rbw to the custom repository package list
doas echo "security/rbw> /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/custom-pkglist
# Build custom packages using poudriere
doas poudriere bulk -f /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/custom-pkglist -j 14-1-amd64 -p main -v -v
# Add repos definition
doas mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
doas vim /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/custom.conf
Custom: {
  url: "file:///poudriere/data/packages/14-1-amd64-main"
}
doas pkg update
pkg search -Q repository rbw
daos pkg install rbw

doas kldload fusefs

doas vim /etc/rc.conf
