You're right, I'll have to add a warning for this issue.

I added support for --local-packagedir to accommodate just this kind of configuration, but I still hold that it will be the exception rather than the rule, and that portmaster should be optimized for the majority of users. > Is there a simple way to disable fetching packages from remote site and > use local packages only? (something better than fake PACKAGEROOT?) Well I have --always-fetch now, I suppose I should add --never-fetch. That's QED. > Anyway, thank you for packages support in portmaster!
