I'd like to add one more point about this, which might be separate to the issue about
+IGNOREME. portmaster -a compiles a list of all the ports it will upgrade or install and
asks if you want to proceed. CGatePro is only examined AFTER that point. It does not
appear in the list before the "Proceed? y/n" question.
In this case, since it is a package and not a port, why does portmaster look at
it at all? There is no useful information available about whether it can be
upgraded (I'm not running with -P). I don't really want to have to put IGNOREME
in that package... I only did that to try and make portmaster ignore something
it should already be ignoring.
Perhaps your improvements to ORIGIN handling will also deal with this.
Thank you for a great tool.
Regards
Ari
