+# WRKDIR
+# The base directory where all the work is done for building a
+# package. The pkgsrc infrastructure creates various files in this
+# directory, whose names all start with a dot.
+#
+# The default value of EXTRACT_DIR is ${WRKDIR}.
+# The default value of WRKSRC is ${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME}.
+#
+# When PKGSRC_LOCKTYPE is set, a lock file is placed into this
+# directory to prevent multiple processes from trying to build
+# the package at the same time.
