I use a machine dedicated for building, I don't use -u -U -R -M -B -P options. -R is known to have issues. I used to use -R now I get around this, by using sqlports from previous build and the log from my cvs update to find packages that need rebuilding including dependencies and shared libs in WANTLIB and remove them before dpb is run. -M need all the memory to build some ports, until I add more RAM. Think there are also issues, or used to be. Need to set USE_MFS, WRKOBJDIR_MFS if comparing make to dpb. -u, -U - don't have any packages installed that haven't been built by current dpb run like -R known issues, or restarted run. -B I don't use proot, as using dedicated build machine. -P will read from files on command line by default not needed. My encounter with 'H' are on a different set up, you need someone using dpb in the same manner as you to comment.
