It doesn't read the tree. It uses INDEX.db, which you are supposed to >build after each cvsup of ports-all. To build INDEX.db, you need a >current version of INDEX. I get too many messages from "portsdb -U" and >use the sequence "make index" and then "portsdb -u". I run these >everytime I cvsup ports-all. The only time you can save is adding >"ports/INDEX" to your refuse file. There isn't any point in downloading >INDEX and rebuilding it immediately after cvsup finishes. > >If you have more ports in your refuse file, running portsdb -U is >probably your only choice. Make is known to stop when it hits a port >that is missing in your /usr/port fs. > > > I think I have a better understanding now of this process. It's also clear that I have to spend more time with the available documentation. Thanks to you both for taking the time to help. Bob
