Okay.  I originally read the -devel in poudriere-devel as sort of “beta” but it’s pretty clear that it’s what I should be using.  (Maybe the porter’s handbook should recommend this, in case a person hits a problem).

Are the various hoops the linuxulator jumps through to resolve things documented somewhere?  Right now this is a black box to me.
