:DISTDIR and PACKAGES are the two other control variables. You still
:haven't answered what would be a better default to be used.
:/usr/obj/pkgsrc clearly isn't as a user checkout doesn't have write
:access to that either.

:Joerg

    User checkouts are even more rare then NFS mounts, and suffer the same
    severe problems with backups.  Who wants to backup tens of gigabytes
    of work/ directories?  Let alone backup multiple copies of the same
    pkgsrc tree by individual users!

    Whatever the default is, it shouldn't be the same place where the pkgsrc
    is.
