>Description:
Apparently the mere extraction of databases/jasperserver installs files at /root/.m2.  This is unacceptable.

The makefile knows this, and tries to work around it.
===================
pre-extract:
        @if [ -e ~/.m2 -o -L ~/.m2 ]; then \
                ${ECHO} A maven repository exists in your home directory. Please remove ~/.m2; \
                ${FALSE} ; \
        fi

post-extract-script:
        @${LN} -fs ${WRKDIR}/.m2 ~/.m2 && ${UNZIP_CMD} -qq ${DISTDIR}/${JSMAVENARCH} -d ${WRKDIR}/.m2

post-build:
        @if [ -L ~/.m2 ]; then ${RM} -f ~/.m2; fi
===================

Any port that is installing files at /root (or $HOME) is rogue.  It's even worse that merely "make extract" will put files in the $HOME directory.
>How-To-Repeat:
> ls ~/.m2  #verify it doesn't exist
> cd /usr/ports/databases/jasperserver
> make extract
> ls ~/.m2 

>Fix:
Maybe source files needs to be repacked without ~/.m2?
maybe --exclude option for tar?

In any case, extracting to $HOME and deleting later is not acceptable, makefile needs changing to prevent this.
