./sysutils/sysbuild, Automates builds of NetBSD and manages source trees

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.8, Package name: sysbuild-2.8, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

sysbuild is a tool to automate the maintenance of the NetBSD sources and
the build of releases by means of a single command and a configuration
file that tells sysbuild what to do.

Since NetBSD 1.6 (released in September 2002), the source tree has included
a very flexible script (build.sh) to build a full NetBSD release for the
current platform or to cross-build for any of the supported platforms.

The flipside of the flexibility is that the script is inconvenient to use
on a daily basis because of the myriad of options it takes. Furthermore,
managing the source trees that make up NetBSD is not in the scope of
build.sh: the user must fetch these trees and keep them up to date by hand.

While these details are all fine on their own, rebuilding NetBSD frequently
(to keep a system up to date, or just for development tasks) is convoluted.
Developers and users usually find themselves writing their own wrapper
scripts over build.sh to simplify their daily tasks.

sysbuild extends build.sh by adding support for configuration files and
source tree management, allowing NetBSD rebuilds with a single and simple
command. Make sure to check the sysbuild-user package for a way to
trivially set up periodic NetBSD rebuilds under an dedicated, unprivileged
user.

Log message:
Update sysbuild to 2.8:

Released on 2025-01-01.

* Made the default.conf configuration file not assume a NetBSD host so
  that it is usable, for example, on Mac OS X.  The previous sample
  configuration file has been renamed to NetBSD.conf and is only
  installed when sysbuild is built on NetBSD.

* Changed the default value of NJOBS to be set to the number of CPUs in
  the machine.

* Fixed default value of SYSBUILD_CONFSUBDIR in configure and a related
  pasto in the INSTALL document.

* Fixed handling of flags in Mac OS X 10.9 due to oddities with the
  built-in /bin/sh (ancient bash).

* Fixed path to sysbuild in sysbuild4cron.

* Converted test programs to shtk's unittest library, thus removing the
  dependency on atf-sh.

* Fixed option parsing to detect missing arguments to options.

* Added support to build specific architectures within a machine type.
  This is done via new syntax in the MACHINE variable, which can now
  take pairs like evbarm-aarch64.

* Updated the minimum shtk version to 1.7.

Log message:
Fix path to sysbuild in sysbuild4cron.

This is a pull-up of upstream 1eb74a64b213d0e4e6a98955169fae76b1c563e0
which was committed on 2014-07-01 but never checked in here (nor I have
released another distfile yet).

Bump PKGREVISION to 2 for this fix.

SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
