Package building currently happens in %p/src/%f and %p/src/root-%f. Would it be bad to move those two directories into a %p/src/build directory, and have a fink.conf variable that allows the user to specify another arbitrary location? These are really temp things that can get large, so one could could move them to a large /tmp partition, or a fast memory-resident fs.
We could also put *Script tempfiles there (instead of /var/tmp) to keep everything together.
This already exists:
Buildpath: /sw/build
It just defaults to /sw/src to preserve backwards compat. =)
