I have a package which is not built from a port (it is commercial software).
I've put an +IGNOREME file in the package folder. But portmaster will not
ignore it:
#portmaster -a
[snip...]
===>>> Proceed? y/n [y]
===>>> Starting build for for ports that need updating <<<===
===>>> Launching child to update CGatePro-5.3.5
===>>> No ORIGIN in /var/db/pkg/CGatePro-5.3.5/+CONTENTS
===>>> Aborting update
===>>> Update for CGatePro-5.3.5 failed
===>>> Aborting update
Unless there is some clear documented reason, portmaster should ignore ports
which are marked to be ignored. The documentation reads:
If you do a regular update of the port, or if the
-a option is being used you will be asked if you want to update
the port anyway.
I am not being asked, it just fails the entire port upgrade process, unless I
use -ia and specifically exclude this package. I don't know enough about
package files to know why ORIGIN is required, even for packages which aren't
generated from the ports system.
