>Description:
If PORTSDIR on your CURRENT system contains symlinks
then "make search ..." command may not work as intended, i.e.
not find any ports.
>How-To-Repeat:
Let's assume that on your system /usr/ports is a symlink to the
/a/ports (for example). In this case following commands (in csh)
give no results:
cd /a/ports/shells
make search key=bash
>Fix:
The problem is in the 'pwd' builtin command of the /bin/sh
which (by default) prints "Logical" working directory while /bin/pwd
and /bin/csh builtin pwd prints "Phisical" working directory by default.
The next patch make it possible to "make search" in the
ports hierarchy depite the symlinks in the PORTSDIR.
