Personally, what i always do, (i dont know if its the best practice, but it fixes my storage space problems, as i always use -stable, and build the updated ports) is to make a symlink in /home
Initial configuration $ cd /home $ doas mkdir ports $ doas chown -R user:wsrc ports $ cd ports $ cd build $ mkdir -p wrkobjdir distdir plist bulk_cookies update_cookies pkgrepo Make symlinks in /usr $ cd /usr $ doas ln -s /home/ports . Edit /etc/mk.conf $ doas vi /etc/mk.conf SUDO=/usr/bin/doas WRKOBJDIR=/home/ports/build/wrkobjdir DISTDIR=/home/ports/build/distdir PLIST_DB=/home/ports/build/plist BULK_COOKIES_DIR=/home/ports/build/bulk_cookies UPDATE_COOKIES_DIR=/home/ports/build/update_cookies PACKAGE_REPOSITORY=/home/ports/build/pkgrepo FETCH_PACKAGES=Yes 26.
