<para><application>Poudriere</application> is a
<acronym>BSD</acronym>-licensed utility for creating and testing
&os; packages. It uses &os; jails to set
up isolated compilation environments which can be used to build
packages for versions of &os; that are different from the box
on which it is installed, and also to build packages for i386 if
the host is an &arch.amd64; system. Once the packages are built, they
will be in a layout identical to the official mirrors and are
therefore useable by
&man.pkg.8; and other package management tools.</para>
