User checkouts are even more rare then NFS mounts, and suffer the same severe problems with backups. Who wants to backup tens of gigabytes of work/ directories? Let alone backup multiple copies of the same pkgsrc tree by individual users!Whatever the default is, it shouldn't be the same place where the pkgsrc is.
My /usr/pkgsrc is a) not shared b) a user checkout c) on a separate mount (actually part of /usr/pkg). And I don't back that up either, I don't see any gain in that. All this stuff can be recreated in little time. So I think not putting the workdirs somewhere special is a quite okay choice. Sharing distfiles is clever anyways. And I don't see why pkgsrc should be readonly shared, if I trust my machines. cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \
