Synopsis: [sysinstall] Sysinstall does not obey /usr/ports symlink while installing ports tree

State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed
State-Changed-By: erwin
State-Changed-When: Sun Dec 17 15:52:04 UTC 2006
State-Changed-Why: 
The problem here is that the tarballs for source are packaged
relative to /usr/src/... while the ports tarball is relative
to /usr/... and unpackages ports/... Thus the src tarballs
never touch src/, but ports will create, and overwrite any
existing, ports/.

Fixing is easy, from a code viewpoint.  Change the
DTE_TARBALL for ports to /usr/ports and let the release
building process build ports relative to /usr/ports/.
However, doing this will create a ports tarball that is
no longer usable by older sysinstall and some form of
backwards compatability magic is needed.
