Hi Nils,

I tested on the logrotate package and it put the logrotate rpm it
downloaded in /usr/localsrc but the build directory went in ports ?
/usr/ports/sysutils/logrotate/work/logrotate-3.5.2

So It looks maybe I did not ask correctly.

How would I have made logrotate to be in 
/usr/local/src/logrotate-3.5.2 ?

Thanks,
Dee
