But portmaster will not > ignore it: It's not ignoring it for -a (update). Kind of funny though why this functionality exists if pkg_install doesn't even check it. I've gotten a lot of noise similar to that related to homegrown packages I've dealt with at work when running pkg_add // pkg_create as it builds up package origins when it reads the contents of the plists -- not sure why a ports-ism made it into pkg_install though, but flz most likely knows why. > #portmaster -a > > [snip...] > > =3D=3D=3D>>> Proceed? y/n [y] > > =3D=3D=3D>>> Starting build for for ports that need updating <<<=3D=3D=3D > > =3D=3D=3D>>> Launching child to update CGatePro-5.3.5 > > =3D=3D=3D>>> No ORIGIN in /var/db/pkg/CGatePro-5.3.5/+CONTENTS > =3D=3D=3D>>> Aborting update > > =3D=3D=3D>>> Update for CGatePro-5.3.5 failed > =3D=3D=3D>>> Aborting update > > > Unless there is some clear documented reason, portmaster should ignore po= rts > which are marked to be ignored.

This I don't know (and is potentially a bug or a needed enhancement with portmaster). dougb would be able to fill you in on this. Cheers, -Garrett
