Anyway, so now I ran portsnap manually and it seems to have rebuilt the INDEX files (at least that's what the output indicates). Trying portsnap -a still gives me "All ports are up to date" though. I seem to be using the tools people recommend these days (portsnap, pkgng, portmaster) but I'm obviously doing something wrong. -- Joel
