I'm trying to set up a local storage area for all of the ports and packages including sources and tarballs. I have the CD set, and I want to copy everything to a dir on a spare hard disk, so when I do a pkg_add or a port make install, it has a local copy of the code and just compiles it. I can't find out how tell the ports system to look at a local directory rather than the CD. This seems simple in theory, and I'm sure it's nothin new, but I'm missing something. Any ideas?
