The INDEX files on the FreeBSD servers are outdated. (on 9-stable, amd64) # svn up /usr/ports # cd /usr/ports # make fetchindex # grep ^firefox-1 INDEX-9 firefox-16.0.2,1|/usr/ports/www/firefox|/usr/local|Web browser based firefox-10.0.10,1|/usr/ports/www/firefox-esr|/usr/local|Web browser firefox was updated to 17.0 on November 20, almost a week ago. The old INDEX file can cause portupgrade and portmaster to not show available updates. Portmaster: # svn up /usr/ports # portmaster -L --index-only | egrep '(ew|ort) version|total install' ===>>> 791 total installed ports ===>>> There are no new versions available Portmaster does detect changes if --index-only is left out, but it takes much longer and so is not used by some users. Portupgrade: # portsdb -Fu && portversion -vl'<' # There is no indication to the user that the index file is outdated and should be rebuilt locally. (I think but have not verified that the index file retrieved by portsnap is correct.) I started to enter a PR for this, but realized it may be a known problem. If so, can we just delete the index files so fetchindex errors out instead of delivering an outdated file?
