Description Rong-En Fan freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2006-10-26 20:00:36 UTC 
Make make.conf auto detect where the real path of /usr/ports is.
If your /usr/ports is a symlink, portconf can still work.

Port maintainer (ale@FreeBSD.org) is cc'd.

Since _PORTSDIR will be invoked whenever make is invoked,
I measured the time requirement for buildworld against RELENG_6
src/ on P4 3.4G i386 box running 6.2-RELEASE.

before / after: 49m24.906s / 52m17.299s

If this is not acceptable, call realpath when at installation
stage and add a message in pkg-message.

I found that ${VAR} != "" does not work as I thought.
It should be replaced by empty(). I updated the patch at

  FreeBSD ports repository

  Modified files:
    ports-mgmt/portconf  pkg-install 
  Log:
  - Make portconf work when /usr/ports is a symlink.  When the link is changed,
    you have to reinstall portconf to get make.conf right.
  
  As this does not affect most people, PORTREVISION is not bumped.
  
  The patch in the PR does not work: we can not use variable in substitution.
  So, the only way to do is to detect the real path of /usr/ports at
  installation time.
