yes, there is no way that will work. portmaster calls itself
recursively, so it has to have an explicit path when you start it.

You could also chmod a+x /root/portmaster and then run it without the
sh, but the way you did it works fine too.

Yes, I was too hasty to get the fix out the door. I just committed
version 207220 which has a more thorough fix for this issue in -a.

I changed the logic for -a to be warn+skip automatically if an +IGNOREME
file is present. For the case of no ORIGIN and no +IGNOREME it's back to
being a fatal error.

Exactly right.
