As the last line above says, it's updating the binary ports index used by portupgrade and friends based on the text-format ports index. See "man portsdb" for more information (and btw, "portsdb -uU" is a nice replacement for "make index" and does the portsdb rebuild step at the same time). It's generally a good idea to do a "portsdb -uU; pkgdb -F" after a cvsup of ports. -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [WAY too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon univ.
