Building Packages
How to build 2,000+ packages, correctly and quickly?

Hardware
Master (`bento'): dual PII, 300MHz, 128MB memory, 10 SCSI disks
8 clients: K6 3D, 350MHz, 64MB memory, 1 IDE disk

Build process
Build each package in separate chroot area
Always start with empty /usr/local
Install dependencies from packages (A -> B/C -> D)
Build packages in right order using (what else?) make

Takes about 16 hours to build 2,000+ packages
Build errors at http://bento.freebsd.org/
Sample scripts in /usr/ports/Tools/portbuild
