This is to make room for pkg_comp 2.0, which is coming soon. The new release is significantly different from the 1.x series in features (supports multiple platforms, bootstrap, and pbulk) but also comes with a different configuration syntax.

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.
