Hi.. I'm setting this up as well, and finally got around to making
portupgrade work with my local ports. The only thing I can't make
global is to add the category "local" to the VALID_CATEGORIES list.
I seem to have to do this in every port. What do you for this? Do
you just use existing category names?
Also, is there no way to just add the dependencies from the local
ports into the INDEX file? It takes about 25 minutes on my NFS
server to update that file from scratch. I'd love to be able to just
append my local ports' entries onto it.
