Before 2016Q1 we have removed the necessity of specifying ${PORTSDIR} in dependency lines. Tested with portmaster, portupgrade and synth and poudriere (bulk -an)
Back to portmgr, waiting for an updated patch (problem with _DEPEND_SPECIALS)
The _DEPENDS_SPECIALS case has been fixed in the current ports tree can we get a new exp-run?
(In reply to Baptiste Daroussin from comment #2) Yes, can you refresh the patch?
Exp-run didn't show any problem with the last version of the patch.
