What's the directory structure like in your PACKAGESITE ? If it's the
standard layout obtained eg. by creating /usr/ports/packages then the
following sort of structure should be automatically created:
% cd /usr/ports/packages
% find . -type d
.
./print
./pear
./archivers
./textproc
./net
./misc
./graphics
./mail
./All <<--------****
./devel
./java
./security
./editors
./www
./ports-mgmt
./ftp
./converters
./python
./x11-toolkits
./x11
./Latest <<---------****
./x11-fonts
./perl5
./deskutils
./tk
./net-im
./ipv6
./net-mgmt
./lang
./geography
./portmaster-download
./gnome
./dns
./databases
./sysutils
./math
./audio
viz. directories mirroring each port category (created when you build a
package from a port in one of those categories) plus the two indicated
extras. (Well, and the one portmaster uses for its backups.) 'All' just
contains a copy of every package you build. 'Latest' however contains
links to the latest version of each package, like so:
% ls -1 ap*
ap22-mod_perl2.tbz@
apache22.tbz@
apg.tbz@
apr-ipv6-devrandom-db48-pgsql90.tbz@
apr-ipv6-devrandom-db48-pgsql91.tbz@
where...
% ls -l apache22.tbz
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 24 Dec 23 17:51 apache22.tbz@ ->
../All/apache-2.2.21.tbz
This is what the LATEST_LINK variable mentioned earlier in the thread is
all about.
Point PACKAGESITE at the /usr/ports/packages/Latest and it should work
as you require.
Cheers,
Matthew
