@ -543,13 +543,14 @@ Use <dir> as root directory for your installation; allows you to install the req
onto a different directory than '/'. In daily usage, this option is not required; it's primarily
interesting if you're developing an independent installation.
Most of the commands fully respect the setting for --install-root, and behave as if you chrooted to
<dir> before running the command (except that the programs \fBprt\-get, pkgmk, pkgadd, pkgrm\fP
are those on the parent filesystem, not those under <dir>). This can lead to surprising side effects
if, for example, /etc/pkgadd.conf has different directives than <dir>/etc/pkgadd.conf. In order to
preserve the \fBpkgadd.conf(5)\fP settings from the host system, append the option --aargs='-c
/etc/pkgadd.conf' to your \fBprt-get install\fP command, or just copy the desired directives into
<dir>/etc/pkgadd.conf .
The setting for --install-root determines which package database is used for reading/writing (so
<dir>/var/lib/pkg/db must exist), and where the pkg.tar.?z archives get unpacked, but the
relevant prt\-get.conf and ports tree are those on the parent filesystem. Therefore it is not
necessary for <dir> to contain its own copy of the ports tree, or even a copy of prt-get.conf.
However, if <dir>/etc/pkgadd.conf exists and is different from /etc/pkgadd.conf, then install or
update commands might behave unexpectedly. In order to preserve the \fBpkgadd.conf(5)\fP settings
from the host system, append the option --aargs='-c /etc/pkgadd.conf' to your \fBprt-get install\fP
command, or just copy the desired directives into <dir>/etc/pkgadd.conf .
