As others have mentioned, it's not necessarily as simple as that - you may also need to update bits of ports/Mk and/or associated ports. You will probably have to follow the cvs-ports mailing list to make sure you see the changes. > I'm not sure what to do about the INDEX files, which is >what i had trouble finding documentation on. Your only option here is "cd /usr/ports && make index" - which is quite slow (try it and see). You can't fetch INDEX if you aren't tracking the full ports tree. >This looks like it is going to be a pain to maintain this. You are correct here. --=20 Peter Jeremy --NzB8fVQJ5HfG6fxh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGE/te/opHv/APuIcRAtrTAKCEqx4CkHLP+60xKIm/AYwi7mH5kgCfY4sz WjhXp6Ci9WFQfU419EAr8vE= =2wrZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --NzB8fVQJ5HfG6fxh--
