I don't know if there is a patch in flight to fix that or not ... but even if there isn't, the far more glaring problem is that this is Yet Another Place that discusses the idea that you can refuse parts of the ports collection but doesn't mention that that's not an option if you want to build INDEX. That's gotta be added. But: 1. I don't know if I got the crossref right; 2. I would accept the argument that it's dumb for the Handbook to reference the FAQ here instead of vice-versa. (Although this location isn't really the right place for the text about INDEX. Right now, there really isn't such a place.) 3. I don't know if the below will step on anyone else's changes. So, I'd appreciate review before commit. mcl Index: mirrors/chapter.sgml =================================================================== RCS file: /home/FreeBSD/dcvs/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors/chapter.sgml,v retrieving revision 1.368 diff -u -r1.368 chapter.sgml --- mirrors/chapter.sgml 27 Nov 2004 21:34:50 -0000 1.368 +++ mirrors/chapter.sgml 19 Dec 2004 03:43:29 -0000 @@ -1448,6 +1448,17 @@ date. + + If you are going to be building your own local + copy of ports/INDEX, you + must accept + ports-all (the whole ports tree). + Building ports/INDEX with + a partial tree is not supported.
