When specifying multiple ports as category/portname/ (i.e. with the trailing slash after the portname) portmaster fails to build them. Examples of syntax that don't currently work: # portmaster x11/dmenu/ x11/dzen2/ builds neither port # portmaster x11/dmenu/ x11/dzen2 builds dzen2 but not dmenu # portmaster x11/dmenu x11/dzen2/ builds dmenu but not dzen2 Examples of syntax that currently work: # portmaster x11/dmenu x11/dzen2 builds both ports # portmaster x11/dmenu/ builds dmenu I've used a tab completion to fill the directory names for years, yet I've never encountered this bug before. I suppose it's possible that by coincidence I only used the trailing slash when specifying single ports, but I'd be surprised if this bug could have existed for very long without my stumbling into it. # uname -a FreeBSD machine10.myexample.com 10.0-STABLE FreeBSD 10.0-STABLE #0 r264414: Sun Apr 13 21:55:01 UTC 2014 root@grind.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/VT amd64 # pkg info -x portmaster portmaster-3.17.7 Also see my FreeBSD Forums thread: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/portmaster-not-working-for-multiple-ports-in-category-portname-format.49871/

Don't do that, it's not a valid syntax. Many tools will fail with a trailing slash for port origin.
