Were you using the make variable WITH_PKG=devel that
Mk/bsd.port.mk has:
. if ${WITH_PKG} == devel
PKG_ORIGIN= ports-mgmt/pkg-devel
. endif
For reference:
# grep -r "WITH_PKG\>" /usr/ports/ | less
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk:WITH_PKG?= ${WITH_PKGNG}
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk:. if ${WITH_PKG} == devel
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.subdir.mk:WITH_PKG= yes
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg-devel/Makefile:.if defined(WITH_PKG)
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg-devel/Makefile:.if ${WITH_PKG} != devel
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg-devel/Makefile:IGNORE= WITH_PKG is not defined
to 'devel', this version is the devel one
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg/Makefile:.if defined(WITH_PKG)
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg/Makefile:.if ${WITH_PKG} == devel
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg/Makefile:IGNORE= WITH_PKG is defined to 'devel',
this version is the stable one
/usr/ports/CHANGES: Note that WITH_PKGNG is now called WITH_PKG (still used to
define 'devel')
Showing disabled but were an example of enablement
can be placed:
# cat /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf
#WITH_PKG=devel
