What I do, usually only when there is a call for testing, is to build on
master including creating a distfile, and then to build that distfile as
if it were a release in pkgsrc.  But duly noted that I need to get
around to converting the package.  That should not be hard; the
non-pkgsrc cmake build works.

Great, glad to hear it.
