I want to control the set of dependencies independently from what the operating system provides. I want gdb traces into dependencies with debug symbols. I want to type 'make', not all the crazy commands that the Makefile automates. I was maintaining this Makefile outside of our repository for a long time. Some years ago Hyrum suggested that I move it into our repo in case it is useful to someone. If you're not happy with that I can move it elsewhere. > (FWIW, the fact that the bb-openbsd bot uses a different script from > other bots is also a problem, but IIUC Ben is working on addressing that.) I'm quite happy that I have reproducible builds on OpenBSD and if necessary other *nix-like systems with full control and automation. If Ben invents something similar that's great. I believe that diversity in the buildfarm doesn't hurt.
