Re: PORTSDIR not being read from /etc/make.conf when build /usr/src

It is possible I suppose that since it's in man ports, the PORTSDIR variable is used for ports but not for src, ven though it's in /etc/make.conf, and thus it's available but ignored. The weird thing is that during rebuilding modules after building a kernel (buildkernel), the next phase is to rebuild the stuff listed in PORTS_MODULES, and that does reference PORTSDIR, but it just isn't actually read from /etc/make.conf.

Based on that, I suppose it's just not a valid option. Souji
