You probably want to put these in a portmaster rc file. Also to avoid
code duplication you can set the first then use
PACKAGESITE=$MASTER_SITE_INDEX. The /Latest is going to get stripped off
anyway. And are you really putting your INDEX file in /Latest/ ??

The --update-if-newer flag is only useful if you're feeding portmaster a
list of ports, some of which are already up to date.

You can't do 5 levels of port directories. Either leave out the category
below local, or name the categories local-misc, local-foo, local-bar, etc.
