Passing command line options to poudriere

[Sam9978]

Is this possible? For example when installing from the ports directory I can do something like:

test:/usr/ports/databases/mysql56-server # make WITH_CHARSET=utf8 WITH_COLLATION=utf8_general_ci install

How can I do the equivalent with poudriere? I've read the docs but can't figure out how to set those command line options for a specific port.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I don't think you can do this per-port, but you can create options for a set.
poudriere(8):

Custom build options
Before building a package, poudriere can mount a directory containing
option files if available. poudriere will check for any of these direc-
tories in this order:

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<tree>-<setname>-options
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<setname>-options
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-<tree>-options
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<setname>-options
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<tree>-options
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/<jailname>-options
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options

So, for example I have a jail called 101amd64 and a set called Server_Std
I have a file /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/101amd64-Server_Std-make.conf which contains

CPUTYPE?=core2
PGSQL_DEFAULT?=9.4

Now I call poudriere, for example with:
poudriere bulk -j 101amd64 -p head -z Server_Std editors/nano
where head is the name of my ports tree.

You'll see in the output:

[00:00:27] ====>> Appending to make.conf: /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf
[00:00:27] ====>> Appending to make.conf: /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/head-make.conf
[00:00:27] ====>> Appending to make.conf: /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/101amd64-Server_Std-make.conf

Hmm... interesting. So either WITH_CHARSET=utf8 WITH_COLLATION=utf8_general_ci will apply to all ports being built or I build mysql on it's own?

Yes, which is probably what you want with charset/collation options anyway.

That port depends on lang/perl5.20 at runtime and databases/mysql56-client as a library dependence. I'm not sure if having a different charset/collation sequence for those would effect it or not....

Yes, which is probably what you want with charset/collation options anyway.

Yes, that's right, I'm just not sure how it will affect things if I make this change now but I guess that's the only option at the moment so I'll just have to proceed carefully.

Thank you very much for your help!
