driving pbulk and LOCALBASE

[Patrick Welche <prlw1%cam.ac.uk@localhost>]

Inside my bulk building sandbox, among other lines,
/etc/mk.conf              contains PKG_DEVELOPER=yes
/usr/pkg_bulk/etc/mk.conf contains LOCALBASE=/usr/pkg_bulk
                                   PKG_DBDIR=/usr/pkg_bulk/pkgdb

Information for checkperms-1.11:

Files:
/usr/pkg_bulk/bin/checkperms
/usr/pkg_bulk/man/man1/checkperms.1


Libtool fails to install: it builds successfully, but then given
PKG_DEVELOPER=yes, it tries to run LOCALBASE/bin/checkperms. At
this point, LOCALBASE=/usr/pkg, /usr/pkg/bin/checkperms doesn't
exist and the build fails.


My first doubt is:

[3/179] Starting build of  checkperms-1.11
[3/179] Successfully built checkperms-1.11

Should that have created a /usr/pkg/bin/checkperms and an enty
in /usr/pkg_bulk/pkgdb? checkperms is not mentioned in /bulklog

I assume that checkperms was built during the bootstrap? Odd: I end up with
two digest packages but one checkperms package.

The work around is easy: set PKG_DEVELOPER=no in the sandbox's /etc/mk.conf
but I would like to understand what is meant to happen.

I suspect that I might be alone using pbulk on NetBSD-current/amd65 given

  pkg/48824 pbulk build failure: argument may be clobbered       

?

Cheers,

Patrick
