There are a few of reasons to build port index by yourself. The 'make = fetchindex' don't sync with ports tree by 100% at most if you are using = = CVS/CVSup. If you modify any choice of dependency, it will changing the = = INDEX. You will have to build index by yourself if you have different = branch of ports tree such as recently with xorg git, MC ports (GNOME = stuff) or personal branch. As for in my system: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D # ls -l /usr/ports | grep INDEX -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 May 20 2006 INDEX.dummy # make -V PORTS_INDEX /usr/ports/INDEX.dummy # portmaster rules portmaster version 1.17 Usage: [....] ;-) =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Cheers, Mezz > It's also worth noting that the other response you got was right.
