Or do you recommend to use both ? portsdb -uU *DOES* replace the "make index" from /usr/ports. However: while is _is_ quicker, it has some disadvantages! I advice you to use: # make index # portsdb -u The "make index" is more accurate! It "sees" all the ports, while portsdb -U sometimes misses some. I like to have a 100% score because a lot of actions (deps i.e.) depend on a 'sound' portsdb. > Someone told me portsdb -uU is a lot faster, but it don't seem to be > that on my computers. On my computer it is (was) faster, but I want quality, so who cares. I can still work on my machine, can't I, while the index is being generated ;-)) -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.8 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilya
