Before 2016Q1 we have removed the necessity of specifying ${PORTSDIR} in dependency lines.
Tested with portmaster, portupgrade and synth and poudriere (bulk -an)
The bsd.databases.mk changes look unrelated and premature
backout extra changes from bsd.databases.mk
This change too
Backout another change that should not have crept in
There is a problem with _DEPEND_SPECIALS : ${PORTSDIR} may not be prepended and fetch-specials will fail to for dir in ${_DEPEND_SPECIALS}; ... cd $$dir; ${MAKE} fetch); ...
Nice catch! I will that one and we will wait for another Q before committing that patch
