Just in time for building 2026Q1, I've released the next version of
bob. This one includes a big new feature: dynamic MAKE_JOBS and

This is wonderful, thank you!
I have one pbulk feature that has not made it into bob, I think:
setting the output directory for binary packages from the build.
AIUI, when you build with bob, the packages go into
/usr/pkgsrc/packages. In pbulk, there is a "packages" variable for
setting that directory in pbulk.conf. I have not seen a similar
setting in config.lua -- or am I missing a trick there?
The reason I am asking is that I am often running builds with
different settings (e.g. with a different default Go version), and I
would like to keep them separate. Ideally, I would like the packages
to go somewhere under the bob config directory.
