I just did. One flaw it has is that I have two no longer supported
ports installed.
What do you mean by "no longer supported?"
I want to run portmaster -a, but when it finds tund

What do you mean it stops? Are you getting, "Cannot cd to port
directory?" If so, one possible fix is to not fail if the port has an
I was wondering about that too, because it has never stop when I don't
have any of ports in /usr/ports. Sometimes, when I forgot test some
unoffical ports that aren't exist in ports tree and the portmaster has

+IGNOREME file, but rather to issue a non-fatal warning. Would that
work for you? I don't want to skip the port altogether at this point,
since even if you have an +IGNOREME file for the port you may still
want to be advised of new versions, moves, etc.
I agree with you. I always move my ports from foobar to foobar-old and use
marcusmerge to merge some of my unoffical ports into ports tree. Perhaps,
add something like 'Do you really want it to be ignore? [With a bit
explain about what is in MOVED], press yes or no'? Or/and add
+REALLYANDREALLYIGNOREME? :-)
I'd rather not just delete their package info --- it is still correct.
It is correct for ports tree, but not to you when you want to keep it. :-)
The other alternative, as already suggested, is to create a ports
skeleton for those two packages. For this purpose, all you'd need is a
Makefile with:
PKGNAME= foo-1.2.3
that matches what's in your +CONTENTS file. Adding the mechanism to
ignore these ports (with no skeleton) is probably a good idea for the
long run anyway, so if anyone has an idea besides what I suggested
above, speak up. :)
Don't know, at least, I am 100% happy with portmaster and have not use
portupgrade for months (maybe almost a year). ;-)
