Hi! I've got a number of ports that I use locally and that are not in the ports collection. this is for a number of different reasons: some are licensed software, some are meta-ports to ease the setup of our FreeBSD boxes, some are ports that just install data (huge downloads), etc. I'm wondering what other people do to manage out-of-the-ports-tree stuff? I already keep local versions of ports I maintain in ~/freebsd/ports and this works fine. But I use this just for testing ports before submission, so I don't get problems like 'missing origin' or other pkgdb/INDEX related issues. I remember vaguely a message posted a while ago (that I'm not being able to find again) about a set up adding 'local' to the list of valid CATEGORIES (/usr/ports/local). Anyone knows about it or is doing something similar? TIA, fernan
