For xenocara i followed the faq. For ports if you want to follow stable
then dpb worked with 777.It was 775 but dpb didnt work. I tried to
change the owner and permissions of {DISTDIR},{PORTSDIR} {WRKOBJDIR}
{PACKAGE_REPOSITORY} and {PLIST_REPOSITORY} to _pbuild but it still
failed to build the packages.This isnt probably the "best practices" but
port documentation is a bit old.
PS.I guess there is another directory dpb need access or i made a
stupid mistake :-p
