Are you supposed to untar it from root (/)? My ports branch is /usr/ports the tar goes: pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/........? Is there something I am missing here? The method I use is to just copy the port into the /usr/ports/whatever/myportis. Stupid question but would love to know the answer, though.
