I cvsup the ports-all megacollection. In fact, I use the default = ports-supfile, and connect to the nearest mirror site. I did use the = default refuse file earlier as well (the one refusing the chinese, = vietnamese, etc. branches), but decided to leave that one out too in = order to eliminate any errors that may cause. What I haven't done, come to think of it, is try to use another mirror. = If for nothing else, then to eliminate that as the cause of the error. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "fbsd_user" <fbsd_user@a1poweruser.com> To: "Henrik W Lund" <henrik.w.lund@broadpark.no>; = <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 1:35 AM Subject: RE: The fear of cvsupping my ports... > Sounds like you are missing the /usr/ports INDEX file or it's messed > up big time.
