So if pkgsrc is writeable, then there's no real advantage of > setting WRKOBJDIR ... There is. E.g. my /tmp filesystem is on tmpfs (NetBSD-current) and I have WRKOBJDIR=/tmp/work, which is much more efficient.
If "/tmp/work" points to "/path/to/pkgsrc/editors/nano/work", then
what advantage do we have if "/tmp" is on tmpfs? I'd have assumed all
the actual work happens in "/path/to/pkgsrc/editors/nano/work" and so
"/tmp" shouldn't make any difference .... am I understanding something
wrong here? :-S
Thanks,
