For example, build + packages for NetBSD 1.5 while you are running NetBSD current. +* Build packages using different options than your current system + like changing the threading library, COPTS, placement of + configuration files, etc. +* Debug the build process of a package, checking if buildlinks + work properly. +* Avoid autoconf's side effects by keeping a separate chroot for + each project, like one for GNOME2 and another one for KDE3. |
