Tinderbox is a package building system for FreeBSD ports, based on
official Portbuild scripts used on pointyhat building cluster.
Tinderbox was written by Joe Marcus Clarke.
You can define multiple jails (base system versions) and multiple
portstrees. The combination of jail and portstree is called a build.
A Tinderbox jail is not what is understood as a jail in FreeBSD,
it is in fact a given world in a chroot. Tinderbox supports automatic
tracking of dependencies and only rebuilds packages that changed
since last run. Tinderbox has support for email notification of
failed builds. Tinderbox also integrates well with ccache.
Tinderbox is designed to easily provide package sets of ports you
need, for platforms and architectures you need. Tinderbox is also
excellent tool for testing new ports and port upgrades, especially
for testing dependencies and packing lists. It's also useful for
testing ports on various releases of FreeBSD, since you can run
FreeBSD 4.X world as a jail on FreeBSD 5.X/6.X host.

The Tinderbox team is pleased to announce the availability of Tinderbox
2.3.4. This release is both a bug fix and a new feature release. The
changes include:
* A performance bug with tbcleanup that was introduced in 2.3.3 has been
fixed.
* The portbuild environment is now scrubbed to prevent pollution. This
greatly helps in producing the same packages as pointyhat.
* The HOME environment variable is initialized to /root to fix certain
false positive leftover problems.
* If a port fails to build, the Build is reinitialized before the next
port build is started (unless -noclean is passed to tinderbuild) to
prevent pollution.
* All the new failure patterns have been merged from pointyhat. This
will produce much more accurate failure analysis.
* A new feature has been added to support introducing custom OPTIONS

This port still needs a lot of work and it would be great if one of the wizards
that know tindy's insides would take maintainership (current maintainer seem
to be gone, no feedback rom him for > 1 month).

Depend on the right databases/p5-DBD-mysql
Don't restrict Apache version to 1.3
The csup change won't work now, and the port should be updated - as promised by
the maintainer 3 weeks ago.
