This bulk build was executed with VARBASE set to '/usr/pkg/var', which
is writable.  Other variables needed to build packages without root
privilege were also set properly.  The following is a part of mk.conf
used in this bulk build.

VARBASE=/usr/pkg/var
ROOT_USER=minskim
ROOT_GROUP=minskim
BINOWN=minskim
BINGRP=minskim
DOCOWN=minskim
DOCGRP=minskim
MANOWN=minskim
MANGRP=minskim
BINMODE=755
NONBINMODE=644
