Because (1) the current practice is to build above /usr/ports and changing that breaks POLA, (2) ports builds are not necessarily "temporary data," if you have several near identical system and a NFS exported /usr/ports, you can build once and install many, and (3) some ports require BIG workspace and TMPDIR may not be large enough. > It is a bad idea to enlage number of filesystems > with temporary data. We're not, that's where ports build already. -- Crist J.
