Hi Alexander,

there was a change to the .mk files which requires the attached patch to
portmaster (repeated inline, but probably with mangled white-space):

--- portmaster~

 if [ "$$" -eq "$PM_PARENT_PID" ]; then
        if [ -z "$pd" ]; then
                if [ -z "$PORTSDIR" ]; then
-                       [ -d /usr/ports ] && pd=/usr/ports

-f/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk -V PORTSDIR 2>/dev/null`
                else

I always wanted to create a PR that mentions that patch, but forgot
about it and was just reminded by you ;-)

Best regards, STefan
