>Description:

The perl script portindex in the www tree is not executable. You have to
make it executable by hand. Every time the script changes, cvs update 
restores the old permissions.

>How-To-Repeat:

run make in the top level WWW tree

......
===> gifs
===> ports
rm -f *.sgml
./portindex ports/INDEX
./portindex: not found


>Fix:

Several possible, e.g.: 

1) chmod 755 of the script in the CVS tree

2) chmod 755 in www/data/ports/Makefile

3) apply this patch

-PORTINDEX=     ./portindex
+PORTINDEX=     perl ./portindex
 INDEX=         ports/INDEX
 
 COOKIE=                ${INDEX} Makefile.gen


Personally, I prefer the last solution, because it works using whatever
permissions the script is committed.

Thankx,

p.s.: there might be similar problem in the Japanse Web pages
