Note that I can do the same thing. If I:
cd /usr/ports/arabic
make describe
then it works perfectly fine. However, that is not what the above
error message complains about. The error says:
don't know how to make _arabic.describe.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and "_arabic.describe" *is* the target which is bsd.ports.subdir.mk
is trying to make. And it is trying to make that in /usr/ports, not
in /usr/ports/arabic, because there is no 'cd' in the section which
does the '@${MAKE} -B ${i:S/^/_/:S/$/.describe/} ...'
In fact, if I put a debugging printf in that target, it is:
making _accessibility.describe in /usr/obj/usr/ports
I don't see how that can possibly work for anyone.
Also note that the section of Mk/bsd.port.subdir.mk that I changed
is not executed for the plain `make describe'. `make index' does a
`make -j${INDEX_JOBS} INDEX_TMPDIR=$${tmpdir} BUILDING_INDEX=1 describe',
and the code I changed to fix the problem is in the section for
defined(BUILDING_INDEX).

This is my cvsup file:
*default tag=.
*default host=cvsup12.freebsd.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr/ports-Cetc
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix
*default umask=022
ports-all
There is no refuse file. I used to refuse some categories, but that
always caused problems with 'make index'. And I rechecked just now
to make sure I have no refuses. I ran down the '/usr/ports-Cetc'
directory which I have specified in my cvsup file. I can also
remove /usr/ports/Makefile, /usr/ports/Mk/*mk, and /usr/ports/arabic,
and when I 'cvsup' I get new versions of all of them.
