This exhausts the virtual memory on my machine, the process gets killed, and the index update doesn't work. My ports tree was checked out this morning. The only unusual feature about it is that excludes most non-English ports. My refuse file contains: ports/chinese ports/french ports/german ports/hebrew ports/japanese/[^nt]* ports/korean ports/russian ports/ukrainian ports/vietnamese I have reproduced this both times I tried it. I'm happy to send more details, test patches, etc. I have portupgrade rev.1.179 installed, which I believe is the latest. >How-To-Repeat: portsdb -Uu >Fix: I wish! >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
