I have a package which is not built from a port (it is commercial software). I've put an +IGNOREME file in the package folder. But portmaster will not ignore it:
#portmaster -a [snip...] ===>>> Proceed? y/n [y] ===>>> Starting build for for ports that need updating <<<=== ===>>> Launching child to update CGatePro-5.3.5 ===>>> No ORIGIN in /var/db/pkg/CGatePro-5.3.5/+CONTENTS ===>>> Aborting update ===>>> Update for CGatePro-5.3.5 failed ===>>> Aborting update Unless there is some clear documented reason, portmaster should ignore ports which are marked to be ignored. The documentation reads: If you do a regular update of the port, or if the -a option is being used you will be asked if you want to update the port anyway. I am not being asked, it just fails the entire port upgrade process, unless I use -ia and specifically exclude this package. I don't know enough about package files to know why ORIGIN is required, even for packages which aren't generated from the ports system.
