| Any change for an update of ports/INDEX database? Out of curiosity, why isn't the INDEX database a Makefile target these days? Seriously. With the new ports management system, I never rely on INDEX anymore to figure out what's out of date. (I used to; I had a script which would check to see if INDEX had been updated, and diff the new version with the old version with a Perl script to figure out version changes. Now? I use a much shorter Perl script which filters the output from "portupgrade -n '*'".) So why isn't there a "portindex" program or Makefile target that reconstructs the INDEX file based on the information in the individual ports? I wish I wasn't halfway through the Late Project From Hell at this point; I'm tempted to take a crack at it. Wouldn't be a hard Perl script, I'd think.
