Greetings!

sepbuild is a package for separating builds.

A separating build is a build of a (possibly large) number of packages in s=
uch=20
a way that there is a minimum influence among the packages. This reduces th=
e=20
impact a trojaned or malicious package might have on other packages. This=
=20
reduction can be considerably large.

Currently, the sepbuild package provides as its main feature the command=20
sepbuild-pkgsrc for separating builds with NetBSD's package collection.

For more information, download, and installation as well as usage instructi=
ons,=20
see the webpages:

http://plastictree.net/software/sepbuild

The sepbuild package is on-topic on the plastictree mailing list. To learn =
