Description Kimmo Paasiala 2012-08-07 16:50:03 UTC

pkg_add(1) uses the PKGDIR environment variable to direct the saved packages to a directory. However the variable conflicts with the PKGDIR variable used in ports(7) building.

Fix: 

Possibly change 'pkg_add -K' to use the PACKAGES variable.
How-To-Repeat: Set PKGDIR variable in enviroment, /etc/make.conf or on make command line to a directory for use with 'pkg_add -K' and try to build any port.

Comment 1 Kimmo Paasiala 2012-08-07 16:57:59 UTC

In how-to-repeat, ignore the 'make.conf' and 'make command line'
-parts, pkg_add(1) only pays attention to environment variables.
