i want the puppy all installed under /usr/home/rancid.
i can't get the port makefile to do this without hacking
it to remove all the /${PORTNAME}s and then hacking
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf to make PREFIX=/usr/home/rancid.

but, even if i do that, bin/rancid-run somehowdissapears the
etc/router.db file.

clues?

only that router.db does not belong in etc. router.db's should be in
each of the "group"'s sub-dirs. eg: /usr/local/rancid/shrubbery/router.db

i gave up and let the port install where it wanted to install.
i then put var in /usr/home/rancid and everything works fine.
