I have been trying to do batch build of the whole pkgsrc for while,
but I seem to run in lots of problems. Has anybody tested batch
building lately?

The first problem was that pkglint couldn't be uninstalled, because
there was package which dependend on it, and the pkg_delete failed. 

The second problem was that pkg_info complained about missing argument
to -e option. This was fixed by changing the

${PKG_INFO} -qe $$pkgname

to

${PKG_INFO} -qe "$$pkgname"

in all places in the bsd.bulk-pkg.mk.

Then some building at least www/wwwcount seems to hung for waiting the
"yes" to finish (i.e the yes consumes 98% of cpu time, and nothing
happens, when I kill the yes then the installation continues).

So is the batch build broken or is my configuration somehow broken...

Piece of my /etc/mk.conf:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OBJMACHINE=yes
MKOBJDIRS=yes

BATCH=yes
DEPENDS_TARGET?=        bulk-install
PACKAGES?=              ${PKGSRCDIR}/packages/${MACHINE_ARCH}
OBJMACHINE?=            1                 # use work.${MACHINE_ARCH}
WRKOBJDIR?=             /usr/tmp/pkgsrc   # build here instead of in pkgsrc
FAILOVER_FETCH=         yes               # insist on the correct checksum
PKG_DEVELOPER?=         yes
...

The netbsd is NetBSD 1.5T compiled Wed Mar 28 08:07:43 EEST 2001, from
sources cvs updated from the anoncvs.no.netbsd.org few hours before (I
am using the anoncvs.no.netbsd.org because the ssh connection to the
anoncvs.netbsd.org seems to be broken so often).
