Why aren't the indexes and readmes made when we run cvsup ports-supfile? Finally, why does it take so long to make what appear (to me) to be fairly small files? Thanks. > You don't need to run make index... just cd into /usr/ports and type 'make fetchindex' after every cvsup session. You don't need to run make readmes too, these are just html pages with all the ports listed on them... see here for an example: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/
