A few days, we changed from PLIST_DB to PLIST_REPOSITORY, so that it looks
a lot more like PACKAGE_REPOSITORY.

(specifically, having to figure out MACHINE_ARCH in one case and not in the
other was turning to be a pain for some scripts and some installations).

If you didn't even know about PLIST_DB, you will be fine.

See bsd.port.mk(5) in current.

PLIST_DB is still mostly supported, but it will go away eventually.

If you had a PLIST_DB that didn't include an arch component, you *must* move
your existing plist repository  so that it includes an arch component.
Otherwise, well, replace
PLIST_DB=something/arch
with
PLIST_REPOSITORY=something

in a place that matters.

Very soon, proot will only support PLIST_REPOSITORY and the PLIST_DB support
will go away.
