Thanks. This does however not apply to my setup. I make sure the
usr/ports directory in the chroot directory is up to date before
starting dpb, and I don't touch it while it's running. Also, re-running
the build will quickly cycle through all packages and dependencies and
immediately put the same packages in the 'H' state.
FWIW, I run dpb with
dpb -B "$chroot_dir" -s -uU -R -M 2G \
-P "$HOME/packages.txt"
and I build the proot with the following configuration:
actions=unpopulate
chroot=/extra/proot
preserve=/usr/ports
After building the proot, I rsync over the ports directory from outside
the chroot (while doing this, I make sure that the two copies of
usr/ports are identical).
The ports that end up in the 'H' state builds just fine in or outside
the chroot when I do "make package".
