Sorry if this has been covered before but I have not been able to find the answer. Where do I set PKG_PATH so portupgrade will install packages from a local drive instead of attempting to 'fetch'? I tried adding 'PKG_PATH=/usr/ports/packages' to /etc/make.conf but that doesn't work. Portupgrade still tries to 'fetch'?
It's an environment variable, set it in your environment :-) Typically
this is done in a script read by your shell at login time: ~/.cshrc or
~/.tcshrc for csh or tcsh, ~/.profile for sh.
Thanks for your reply. I added 'set env PKG_PATH=/usr/ports/packages' to /root/.cshrc. However when this didn't change anything, I double-checked the contents of /usr/ports/packages and found the package was not there and that's why portupgrade is trying to fetch. Dumb mistake on my part. :-) I'm still learning how all of this fits together and am trying to get away from keeping a ports tree on each machine. It's turning out to be more difficult than I expected.
Thanks,
