+ 3.2.7 Building a partial set of packages
+ ========================================
+
+In addition to building a complete set of all packages in pkgsrc, the
+pkgsrc/mk/bulk/build script may be used to build a subset of the
+packages contained in pkgsrc.  By setting defining SPECIFIC_PKGS
+in /etc/mk.conf, the variables 
+
+       SITE_SPECIFIC_PKGS
+       HOST_SPECIFIC_PKGS
+       GROUP_SPECIFIC_PKGS
+       USER_SPECIFIC_PKGS
+
+will define the set of packages which should be built.  The bulk build
+code will also include any packages which are needed as dependencies
+for the explicitly listed packages.
+
+One use is to do a bulk build with SPECIFIC_PKGS in a chroot sandbox
+periodically to have a complete set of the binary packages needed for
+your site available without the overhead of building extra packages
+that are not needed.
