+<p>When you have multiple machines that should run the same packages,
+it is wasted time if they all build their packages themselves from
+source. There are two ways of getting a set of binary packages: The old
+bulk build system, or the new (as of 2007) parallel bulk build (pbulk)
+system. This chapter describes how to set them up so that the packages
+are most likely to be usable later.</p>
<div class="sect1" lang="en">

-<a name="bulkbuild"></a>6.3. Doing a bulk build of all packages</h2></div></div></div>
-<p>If you want to get a full set of precompiled binary
- packages, this section describes how to get them. Beware that
- the bulk build will remove all currently installed packages from
- your system!</p>
-<p>Having an FTP server configured either on the
- machine doing the bulk builds or on a nearby NFS server can help
- to make the packages available to other machines that can then
- save time by installing only the binary packages. See <a href="http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?ftpd+8+NetBSD-current"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">ftpd</span>(8)</span></a> for
- more information. If you use a remote NFS server's storage, be
- sure to not actually compile on NFS storage, as this slows
- things down a lot.</p>
+<a name="bulk.pre"></a>7.1. Think first, build later</h2></div></div></div>
+<p>Since a bulk build takes several days or even weeks to finish, you
+should think about the setup before you start everything. Pay attention
+to at least the following points:</p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
+<li>
+<p>If you want to upload the binary packages to
+ftp.NetBSD.org, make sure the setup complies to the requirements for binary
+packages:</p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle">
+<li><p>To end up on ftp.NetBSD.org, the packages must be built
+by a NetBSD developer on a trusted machine (that is, where you and only
+you have root access).</p></li>
+<li><p>Packages on ftp.NetBSD.org should only be created from
+the stable branches (like 2007Q1), so that users browsing the available
+collections can see at a glance how old the packages
+are.</p></li>
+<li><p>The packages must be built as root, since some packages
+require set-uid binaries at runtime, and creating those packages as
+unprivileged user doesn't work well at the moment.</p></li>
+</ul></div>
+</li>
+<li><p>Make sure that the bulk build cannot break anything in
+your system. Most bulk builds run as root, so they should be run at least
+in a chroot environment or something even more restrictive, depending on
+what the operating system provides. There have been numerous cases where
+certain packages tried to install files outside the
+<code class="filename">LOCALBASE</code> or wanted to edit some files in
+<code class="filename">/etc</code>. Furthermore, the bulk builds install and
+deinstall packages in <code class="filename">/usr/pkg</code> (or whatever
+<code class="filename">LOCALBASE</code> is) during their operation, so be sure
+that you don't need any package during the build.</p></li>

-on a nearby NFS server can help to make the packages available to other
-machines that can then save time by installing only the binary packages. See

-to not actually compile on NFS storage, as this slows things down a lot.
+When you have multiple machines that should run the same packages, it is wasted
+time if they all build their packages themselves from source. There are two
+ways of getting a set of binary packages: The old bulk build system, or the new
+(as of 2007) parallel bulk build (pbulk) system. This chapter describes how to
+set them up so that the packages are most likely to be usable later.
-6.3.1. Configuration
+7.1. Think first, build later
-6.3.1.1. build.conf
+Since a bulk build takes several days or even weeks to finish, you should think
+about the setup before you start everything. Pay attention to at least the
+following points:
+
+ * If you want to upload the binary packages to ftp.NetBSD.org, make sure the
+ setup complies to the requirements for binary packages:
+
+ o To end up on ftp.NetBSD.org, the packages must be built by a NetBSD
+ developer on a trusted machine (that is, where you and only you have
+ root access).
+
+ o Packages on ftp.NetBSD.org should only be created from the stable
+ branches (like 2007Q1), so that users browsing the available
+ collections can see at a glance how old the packages are.
+
+ o The packages must be built as root, since some packages require set-uid
+ binaries at runtime, and creating those packages as unprivileged user
+ doesn't work well at the moment.
+
+ * Make sure that the bulk build cannot break anything in your system. Most
+ bulk builds run as root, so they should be run at least in a chroot
+ environment or something even more restrictive, depending on what the
+ operating system provides. There have been numerous cases where certain
+ packages tried to install files outside the LOCALBASE or wanted to edit
+ some files in /etc. Furthermore, the bulk builds install and deinstall
+ packages in /usr/pkg (or whatever LOCALBASE is) during their operation, so
+ be sure that you don't need any package during the build.
+
+7.2. Requirements of a bulk build
+
+A complete bulk build requires lots of disk space. Some of the disk space can
+be read-only, some other must be writable. Some can be on remote filesystems
+(such as NFS) and some should be local. Some can be temporary filesystems,
+others must survive a sudden reboot.
+
+ * 10 GB for the distfiles (read-write, remote, temporary)
+
+ * 10 GB for the binary packages (read-write, remote, permanent)
+
+ * 400 MB for the pkgsrc tree (read-only, remote, permanent)
+
+ * 5 GB for LOCALBASE (read-write, local, temporary for pbulk, permanent for
+ old-bulk)
+
+ * 5 GB for the log files (read-write, remote, permanent)

+ * 5 GB for temporary files (read-write, local, temporary)
