>Description:
I just noticed that security/audit-packages's download-vulnerability-list
saves the vulnerability list to /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles even though the user
might keep his distfiles somewhere else.
>How-To-Repeat:
# echo DISTDIR=/tmp/distfiles >> /etc/mk.conf
[install some package and see how the distfile is saved into /tmp/distfiles]
# download-vulnerability-list
[see how the vulnerability list is still stored in /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles]
>Fix:
Maybe some "grep DISTDIR /etc/mk.conf" kludge is needed to determine the
correct directory (not very elegant).
