Hi folks,

As many of you have seen in the commit messages, I've committed some
scripts to automatically build packages in parallel.  You can find
them in /usr/ports/Tools/portbuild.

However, some ports don't build for whatever reason.  I put the error
logs from the latest run in

  http://www.freebsd.org/~asami/errorlogs/

if some of you can take a look, that will be great.

There are three things unique to the way this script works.

 @ It uses a fresh chroot dir so it can always start from an empty
   /usr/local and /usr/X11R6.  A port that tries to run "ps" or some
   other stuff can fail becuase of that.

 @ As mentioned above, it starts from an empty /usr/{local,X11R6}.
   Dependencies are automatically installed as packages before the
   build (and DEPENDS_TARGET is set to "/usr/bin/true" so they won't
   be built later).

 @ It uses a read-only /usr/ports (NFS mounted from a central server)
   and WRKDIRPREFIX to build the ports outside the ports tree.  Some
   ports don't work correctly with WRKDIRPREFIX.  Also, there is a
   problem with our NFS that causes totally weird transient errors
   (like it can't cd to a directory that it just created) so ignore
   those.

I have already fixed a lot of ports but I need your help.  If some of
you can take a look at the logs and see if you can figure out what's
going on, that's great.

Thanks!

Satoshi
