Description Philippe Michel 2019-04-06 14:25:28 UTC

Starting portmaster in /sys/conf (by chance, the shell where I ran it had been changed to this directory for an earlier task) causes the following error :

# portmaster openjpeg

===>>> The ports directory (
make: stopped in /usr/src/sys/conf) does not seem to contain a ports tree
===>>> Aborting update

Apparently portmaster looks for some files in some places, with $cwd early in the directories search list and /sys/conf contains an homonym.

Comment 1 Walter Schwarzenfeld 2019-08-24 08:30:02 UTC

/usr/local/sbin/portmaster:

358  +       if [ "$PWD" = "/usr/src/sys/conf" ]; then
359  +               pm_cd $HOME
360  +      fi
