>Description:
In USING A READ_ONLY PORTS tree section of man ports, it says set
PLIST_DB but (I believe it) should say set PLIST_REPOSITORY
Please note that man bsd.port.mk says PLIST_DB is deprecated. Also,
setting PLIST_DB in /etc/mk.conf
doesn't change permissions when one runs make fix-permissions, but make
fix-permissions does work if
one sets PLIST_REPOSITORY in /etc/mk.conf. This occurs because
/usr/ports/infrastructure/mk/bsd.port.mk in the
fix-permissions sections affects PLIST_REPOSITORY but not PLIST_DB.
>How-To-Repeat:
set PLIST_DB in /etc/mk.conf and then run make fix-permissions in
/usr/ports. The directory permissions for PLIST_DB are
not changed. But if PLIST_REPOSITORY is set in /etc/mk.conf and make
fix-permissions in /usr/ports is run, the permissions
are changed appropriately.
