hi all,

i'm trying to make a port, and the problem i ran into is that their
build system tries to write linker output directly to /usr/local . i
imagine it will be impossible to create a package this way.

is there any way that the ports infrastructure can help to sandbox this?
i'm guessing not, and i'll have to modify the upstream build system; but
i thought i'd ask just in case.

just to help my understanding, is it correct that the ports system
assumes upstream build systems only write to the package directory below
/usr/ports/pobj ?

cheers,
björn
