I wanted to setup my laptop to use my home package repository, but still be able to build packages when I'm roaming by just using a different set of config files. So I made /etc/pkgmk-nfs.conf and set the variables, eg: PKGMK_PACKAGE_PATH=/net/home/pkgmk/package/i686 Then make a /etc/prt-get-nfs.conf, in particular set, makecommand pkgmk -cf /etc/pkgmk-nfs.conf This gives the following error: prt-get: updating /net/home/pkgmk/ports/opt/glib =======> Package '/net/home/pkgmk/package/i686/glib#2.14.3-1.pkg.tar.gz' is up to date. prt-get: updating glib from 2.14.0-1 to 2.14.3-1 pkgadd: could not open glib#2.14.3-1.pkg.tar.gz: No such file or directory So pkgmk finds the package is up to date, but pkgadd fails. Upon inspecting the prt-get source I find the following function in installtransaction.cpp, string InstallTransaction::getPkgDest() const { string pkgdest = ""; pkgdest = getPkgDestFromFile("/etc/pkgmk.conf"); if (pkgdest.size() == 0) { pkgdest = getPkgDestFromFile("/usr/bin/pkgmk"); } m_pkgDest = pkgdest; return pkgdest; } It seems to me that we should be able to set the pkgmk config file either in prt-get.conf or atleast as an environment variable, rather than using a hardwired constant. That or I'm just an edge case no one cares about :) -- Lucas Hazel
