I'm using pkg_chk/pkg_comp to build about 200 packages.
I [essentially] do:
pkg_comp pkgbuild &> CHROOT-BUILD.000 &
where pkgbuild is a script in the chroot which runs pkg_chk.
This generally works, but I found that the configure of lang/guile
hung up with:
checking if readline clears SA_RESTART flag for SIGWINCH...
and the job was 'Stopped'. I fg'd it for a few seconds, then ^Z and
bg, and it continues on.
Should I be detaching from the controlling tty? Is this a package bug
to need a terminal at configure time, much like it's a bug to need an
X11 DISPLAY?
