Just a small correction: it's /var/db/pkg/${PKGNAME}, not ${DISTNAME} :)
A slight difference, but important sometimes, most often when
PORTREVISION > 0, but also when there are differences between
the representation of the version in the upstream distribution and in
the FreeBSD port.

OpenOffice is one of our most complex packages, and, depending on which package node it builds on, can take nearly a day to run.

libutf-8 compilation error
I am encountering the following error while trying to compile converters/libutf-8 inside of a jail.
