 Log:
 New Feature
 ===========
 Add a --packages-local option for those who wish to use only local
 packages, and never attempt to fetch from a remote site.

 Bug Fix
 =======
 Fix a braino for --index-first and --index-only:
 The cross-checking of the command line options needs to happen before
 the environment variables are set.

 Cleanups And Optimizations
 ==========================
 1. LOCALBASE_COMPAT is only ever used in combination with /pkg at the
    end, so fold that into the variable to start with.
 2. Indicate to the user that -p is deprecated
 3. Allow setting of DISTDIR directly in .portmasterrc like the other
    widely used vars. This entails the following:
    a. Capitalize distdir every place that it's used.
    b. Add to the list of --options to check which mean we don't even
       have to try to set it. This saves us a call to make(1).
c. Don't set it to / if DISTDIR is empty, which makes error checking
       later on easier.
    d. Mark DISTDIR (and related vars) global in a few more functions
       to make it consistent.
 4. Move the test for version > 6.4 first in the list, no point in
    processing a bunch of stuff only to bail out later.
 5. Unset the test_command_line function when we're done using it
 6. Be smarter about whether or not to use $PM_SU_CMD to fetch the
    INDEX.bz2
 7. Improve cross-option error checking for the --packages* options

 Revision  Changes    Path
2.26 +99 -65 ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster/files/ portmaster.sh.in

How about having a precedence list for download sites? Works well for fetching ports distfiles at least. If someone doesn't want to fetch from nonlocal mirrors they could just explicitly note the download mirrors. And if someone wanted to place priority on the local mirror they could accumulate the value appropriately with sh syntax.

Just a thought. I like the functionality, but this seems like a better overall solution.

Cheers,
