Assign back. I have nothing to do with the wiki page and the setup described
doesn't reflect any of the very basic configuration recommendations. It doesn't
even include WRKOBJDIR and therefore requires a tree writable by the (unprivileged)
build account.

 While I agree that you're not responsible for documentation on the wiki, 
 is it reasonable that the default behavior of pbulk is to create an 
 unprivileged user, then try to compile with that user with the default 
 build location inside of the pkgsrc tree?

 Perhaps the build location's default in the context of pbulk should be 
 /usr/pbulk/tmp/. I think people should be able to chroot to a clean 
 location with a clean pkgsrc, then run:

 sh /usr/pkgsrc/mk/pbulk/pbulk.sh
 /usr/pbulk/bin/bulkbuild

 without having to create an intermediate mk.conf or edit 
 /usr/pbulk/etc/mk.conf. Otherwise, what's the point of having a whole 
 build system with tools and configuration inside of /usr/pbulk?

 Back to this problem specifically, aside from adding WRKDIR to 
 /usr/pbulk/etc/mk.conf, what else nees to be changed to make this work out 
 of the box?

 Thanks,
 John

 pbulk itself doesn't even create a user.

 I am not responsible for pbulk.sh either.

 To have a consistent way to build the bulk build software itself and
 dependencies, without interacting with the to-be-build packages?

 Not /usr/pbulk/etc/mk.conf, /etc/mk.conf.
