and many other developers. Special thanks to David Maxwell for
testing the initial prototype and finding some bugs with
Coverity Prevent.

From DESCR:
pbulk is the modular bulk build framework for pkgsrc.
This package contains:
- pbulk-scan, a program to scan the entire pkgsrc tree
or a list of directories therein for packages and
dependencies. Distributed operation using a master/client
mode is supported.
- pbulk-resolve, a program to resolve the dependencies
from the output of pbulk-scan
- pbulk-build, the build scheduler. Distributed builds via TCP
are supported.
- bulkbuild and related scripts to implement full and limited
bulk builds on top of those programs.
The pbulk framework is considered experimental.
