This is a very bad idea; locally generated INDEX contains all
use-defined OPTIONS, etc. while the fetched one contains only the
defaults thus his has the potential to break the wonderful
upward-recursive usage of portupgrade.

I would rather recommend using sysutils/p5-FreeBSD-portindex to
generate the INDEX locally and fast.


I strongly suggest that this is backed-out (or at very least explained
i the man page).
