Do not write anything to files outside
WRKDIR
. WRKDIR
is the only
place that is guaranteed to be writable during the port build (see
installing ports from a CDROM for an
example of building ports from a read-only tree). If you need to
modify one of the pkg-*
files, do so by redefining a variable, not by
writing over it.
