Hi.

I have a /usr/ports collection mounted via read-only NFS, so I had to
hack a bit my config to have writable packages and distfiles
directories.

Here is the content of my make.conf:

WRKDIRPREFIX=/usr/ports.local
DISTDIR=/usr/ports.local/distfiles
PACKAGES=/usr/ports.local/packages

Now, I understand portupgrade isn't likely to parse that, so I
included the modifs in pkgtools.conf too:

  ENV['PACKAGES'] ||= '/usr/ports.local/packages'
  ENV['PKG_PATH'] ||= ENV['PACKAGES'] + '/All'

And now, pkg_fetch works well, but it seems portupgrade -P itself
cannot find the package, why?

--->  Identifying the package /usr/ports.local/packages/All/popt-1.5.1_1.tgz
--->  Saved as /usr/ports.local/packages/All/popt-1.5.1_1.tgz
--->  Skipping libiconv-1.7_3 (already installed)
--->  Skipping gettext-0.11.1_1 (already installed)
--->  Reporting the results (+:succeeded / -:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed)
        + popt-1.5.1_1
        - libiconv-1.7_3
        - gettext-0.11.1_1
** Could not fetch the latest version '1.5.1_1'
--->  Using the port instead of a package
--->  Upgrading 'popt-1.5.1' to 'popt-1.5.1_1' (devel/popt)

It's clear that pkg_fetch has successfully fetched the package and
installed it!

What am I doing wrong?

A.
