What about DISTDIR (/usr/ports/distfiles) and PACKAGES (/usr/ports/packages)? Those are now kinda stuck under /usr/ports as well forcing the ports tree to be read-write unless overridden to some other directories. For the distfiles I've used /var/cache/distfiles and I think that would follow hier(7) nicely if it was changed that way. -Kimmo _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
