As mentioned in man ports, it can be useful if /usr/ports is on a read-only filesystem, e.g. cdrom. Another reason, for which I've used it, is if there is insufficient free space for the temporary work files in /usr/ports. Perhaps a more useful comment would by why you think /var/tmp could be a "weird", or rather a problematic, location? For the OP: Is there anything significant about your /var/tmp? (Does it have enough free space? Is it mounted noexec, etc.?) Wayne
