Basically I've settled on this approach, which has worked out
extremely well for the last couple of days at least :-)
All local ports are in /usr/ports/local/kci-FOO for port named kci-
FOO. I prefix all my local ports with 'kci-' to make things easy to
identify. In /usr/ports/local is a Makefile with SUBDIR+=kci-FOO for
each port just like any other category Makefile.
In pkgtools.conf I add 'local' to EXTRA_CATEGORIES. This seems to be
not used, but doesn't hurt.
Then, to build the INDEX file I came up with a really great hack....
it goes like this:
portsnap fetch
portsnap update
portsnap -I update
localportindex
portsdb --update
where localportsindex is the following script. it takes advantage of
the fact that Tools/make_index reads the basically same format as the
INDEX file itself but will complain about not finding the port
pathnames for the ports it has already processed. We just ignore the
warnings it emits (bad style, yes... but it works for me) and only
pull the lines we just created, ie, our local ports. This takes just
a few seconds rather than 25 to 40 minutes, and is robust in that the
data is correct 100% relative to the other entries in the index file.
