./pkgtools/pkg_comp, Build packages inside a chroot jail

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.31, Package name: pkg_comp-1.31, Maintainer: jmmv

pkg_comp is a small utility designed to build packages inside a
clean chroot tree.

Some ideas about what to use it for (taken from manpage):
* Build packages for other system versions. For example, build
packages for NetBSD 1.5 while you are running NetBSD current.
* Build packages using different options than your current system
like changing the threading library, COPTS, placement of
configuration files, etc.
* Debug the build process of a package, checking if buildlinks
work properly.
* Avoid autoconf's side effects by keeping a separate chroot for
each project, like one for GNOME2 and another one for KDE3.
* Schedule builds of package sets for several different machines.

Add option -N: with the expection of pkgtools/libkver (see manual
page about NETBSD_RELEASE) avoid installation of default packages as well as
INSTALL_PACKAGES and BUILD_PACKAGES during the creation of the chroot.

Note: This is useful for running pbulk in a sandbox created by
pkg_comp as binary packages , possibly very low in the build
dependencies tree like pkgtools/digest, won't be built by pkg_comp
while creating the sandbox hence pbulk won't have to rebuild nearly
all packages otherwise already up-to-date.

The maintainer notes that this seems like abusing pkg_comp to just
create sandboxes. And well... yes indeed!
