The combination of jail and portstree is called a build. +A Tinderbox jail is not what is understood as a jail in FreeBSD, +it is in fact a given world in a chroot. Tinderbox supports automatic +tracking of dependencies and only rebuilds packages that changed +since last run. Tinderbox has support for email notification of +failed builds. Tinderbox also integrates well with ccache. + +Tinderbox is designed to easily provide package sets of ports you +need, for platforms and architectures you need. Tinderbox is also +excellent tool for testing new ports and port upgrades, especially +for testing dependencies and packing lists. It's also useful for +testing ports on various releases of FreeBSD, since you can run +FreeBSD 4.X world as a jail on FreeBSD 5.X/6.X host. + +WWW: http://tinderbox.marcuscom.com/ +Author: Joe Marcus Clarke. -- cgit
