Testing pkgsrc builds & dependencies




(Apologies if this is not the right list for this)

I've been using NetBSD and pkgsrc for a long time, and I now have a (little) spare time and a spare server that's not doing anything, so I thought I would teach myself some tools by setting up a pkgsrc build/test machine.

The specific goal is to build pkgsrc packages from source in isolation (not in bulk) to ferret out problems with dependencies that I (and I'm sure others) have often found.

1) Is this a reasonable thing to attempt?  Granted it will be slow, but that's not necessarily important.

2) Should I use current or the most recent release branch?

3) Where should I report errors?

Any feedback is welcome.
