Yes.

./bsd.pkg.mk:FAKEHOMEDIR=               ${WRKDIR}/.home
./bsd.pkg.mk:ALL_ENV+=          HOME=${FAKEHOMEDIR}

and then checks/check-fakehome.mk complains if it is non-empty.


This scheme

  - mostly stops package builds from modifying the user's data
  - mostly detects if a package writes things into $HOME

I had a whole bunch of stuff in .config/go/telemetry and cleareed it
out.  Started "make package" in lang/go126, not using bob, normal
netbsd-10 amd64 machine, and soon:

  $ find .config/go -type f | xargs ls -l

I looked for about 10 minutes but could not trace the twisty maze of calls.

I guess we could disable telemetry as an interim thing until this is fixed.
