Create package lists

Quoting from man(8) poudriere-bulk

-f file      Absolute path to a file which contains the list of ports to
             build.  Ports must be specified in the form category/port
             and shell-style comments are allowed.  Multiple -f file
             arguments may be specified at once.

Note

In this role, the term package lists is used for the lists of ports in the form category/port.

By default, create the package lists

poudriere_pkglists: true

No architecture is selected by default

poudriere_pkg_arch: []

Set the required list of architectures for which the packages will be built. For example,

poudriere_pkg_arch: [amd64]

For the selected architectures, set the lists of the dictionaries in the variables pkg_dict_*.yml. For example,

pkg_dict_amd64:
  - pkglist: minimal
    packages:
      - shells/bash
      - devel/git@default
      - archivers/gtar
      - ports-mgmt/pkg
      - ports-mgmt/portmaster
      - ports-mgmt/portupgrade
      - net/rsync
      - ftp/wget
  - pkglist: ansible
    packages:
      - sysutils/ansible
      - sysutils/py-ansible-lint
      - sysutils/py-ansible-runner

Optionally, link the enabled package lists in the directory pkglist/amd64.enabled

pkglist_enable_amd64:
  - ansible
  - minimal

Optionally, create files All including all package lists in the directory

poudriere_pkglist_all: true

Create the package lists files

shell> ansible-playbook pb.yml -t poudriere_pkglists

Note

In this role, the term package lists is also used for the files keeping the lists of ports in the form category/port aka pkg-origin.

Look at the created files

shell> tree /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/pkglist

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/pkglist
├── amd64
│   ├── All
│   ├── ansible
│   └── minimal
└── amd64.enabled
    ├── All
    ├── ansible -> /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/pkglist/amd64/ansible
    └── minimal -> /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/pkglist/amd64/minimal

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/pkglist/amd64/ansible

sysutils/ansible
sysutils/py-ansible-lint
sysutils/py-ansible-runner

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/pkglist/amd64/minimal

shells/bash
devel/git@default
archivers/gtar
ports-mgmt/pkg
ports-mgmt/portmaster
ports-mgmt/portupgrade
net/rsync
ftp/wget

The enablement of the lists in the directory amd64.enabled is not mandatory. It’s for your convenience only. See various strategies how to build the packages in the section Build the packages.
