Here is the question: How can get an absolutely up to date list of all ports without cvsupping all of the ports? Here is why I ask: I have been working on a method to maintain a ports collection that has _only_ certain software in it. To do this, I have generated a refuse file from '/usr/ports/INDEX' which I fetch from pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/INDEX. I then use 'sed' and some shell scripting to delete the desired software directories out of the refuse file so that they will be fetched (not refused) and kept up to date. There is one problem. '/usr/ports/INDEX' is not as up to date as the ports collection. The result is that I get a refuse file that doesn't refuse everything I want it to. I found this out when cvsup started checking out files when all the files should have been refused. The big idea here is that I do not want to download all of the ports. I only want a few. The only problem I am having is getting a current INDEX.
