/var/portbuild is the new designated home of the portbuild setup, and
is expected to be a symlink to wherever you choose to put the stuff.
Also, change reportload to use /var/portbuild to store temporary files.
Seems there are some bugs in the null mount code that make the files
inaccessible if you are using an NFS root.
that is built. This saves a lot of time, especiall when the
parallelism (the number of jobs per machine, not the number of
machines) is low.
However, the build script only blows away /usr/local and
/usr/X11R6, so if there is a port that does some nasty things
outside that area, all bets are off.
(2) Better load balancing. Now, each machine reports its own
load in a form of a text file, which the master merely aggregates
to pick the lowest-loaded machine(s). Other than generally
running faster (and more up-to-date) under loaded conditions, the
master script will no longer hold up until a timeout when a
machine goes down.
