The line you have found in bsd.port.mk (line 4809 in version 1.524) is about `make describe' output rather than the contents of the INDEX file. When creating the INDEX file the output of all the `make describe' commands is passed to Tools/make_index which reorders the fields. - -- Vasil Dimov -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFD8GaXFw6SP/bBpCARAksuAJ48yEY1T1+l3qPB+UKoJp5hpbFvQwCfX7gE n84xz5zavGFCmdDmY1WKayY= =NATd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
