Look at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk; in particular WRKDIRPREFIX. Setting it in /etc/make.conf seems sensible, perhaps WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/ports/`hostname` or WRKDIRPREFIX=/disks/big-fast-disk/ports-build as approprate -- Mike Bristow, seebitwopie To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
ports /work/ directory.
Is there any plans to move the ports' working directory out of the /usr/ports/ tree? Let me explain why i ask. I have 10 FreeBSD servers that are a mix of FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE, 3-STABLE, and 4-STABLE. In the interests of saving disk space and bandwith, i have one central file archive of ports, and the three stable branches, and i mount those directories on all servers as required via amd. When i'm working in src at the same time as someone else, i have no problems, since all work is not done in that tree. However, if i were to be working in ports att the same time as someone else, some pretty nasty things happen. If this is not being worked on, but people think that it might be a good idea to move the ports' working directories somewhere else, i'd be willing to take a look and see what i could come up with based on suggestions from whomever wanted to put their two cents in.
