I always generated the INDEX file myself (yes, it's
indeed resource and time consuming).
When I encountered trouble some time ago, I learned
from this mailing list that I can use "make
fetchindex" and that this is actually better.
I then frequently encounter following problem:
Since I am in Korea, I used cvsup.kr.freebsd.org for
cvsup-ing my ports. However, the 'make fetchindex'
dowloads the INDEX file from elsewhere, which may
not be in sync with my Korean cvsup host.
So I get conflicts when checking port versions and
upgrading outdated ports.
To solve this problem, I now always sync my ports
with one of the main cvsup hosts:
cvsup[n].freebsd.org.
So the Korean freeBSD hosts have become useless to
me.
Am I doing something wrong?
Rob.
