I did a cvsup of ports-all just before I did the make index. I have a script that does the cvsup and generate the indexes. I make fewer mistakes that way. How do you run cvsup? What do you use on the command line. For example, I use cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile You might also change the mirror in your cvsup file. For example, I have *default host=cvsup11.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix Occasionally, a mirror will get stuck for one reason or another. The only way you can find out is if you have problems, change the mirror to something like cvsup16, and the problem goes away. If you do this and still have problems, you should probably move your problem to ports@freebsd.org. There are more things that you can do but they get messy :). The mirrors mostly update on the hour. Cvsuping less than an hour apart may be using the same old data. You need to wait until 15-20 minutes after the hour for the mirror to be updated. I mirror most of the data and it takes around 8 minutes for a mirror update to finish. Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
