Summary

Packages default to ending up in a different location compared to the
documentation, so catch up to the implemtation by referring to the
location where packages can usually be found if no environment variables
have been set.

While here, also update the mention of the file extension to match the
txz format that packages use.

This does not seem to be correct, and current working directory is rather ambiguous.

Doing, e.g. make -C /usr/ports/textproc/utf8proc package will put the package to /usr/ports/textproc/utf8proc/work/pkg, and if WRKDIRPREFIX is redefined, the pkg will go there as well, i.e. WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj make -C /usr/ports/textproc/utf8proc package will put the package to /usr/obj/usr/ports/textproc/utf8proc/work/pkg. None of those are related to CWD being e.g. /home/yuripv.

I had written something to that effect initially, but convinced myself I remembered wrong.

The .Pa macro seems appropriate here.

Also, maybe it can be /usr/ports. That would be consistent with the rest of this manual page.

I forgot to use the tooling, and missed that the Differential revision field wasn't tagged.

This landed as https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=248a47a4c2fb229ae815fa61875b3f62a2d6856c
