This is a combination of poor planning on my behalf (I shouldn't have hard-coded the list of INDEX files) and a decision not to do anything about this yet. There is currently a lag time of roughly 1 - 2 hours between a commit to the ports tree and that change being reflected in the latest portsnap snapshot; about 80% of this time is from building the three INDEX files. When I looked into adding INDEX-7 to the list of files to build, it turned out to be identical to INDEX-6 (so far); so having the portsnap buildbox build it would slowed down the builds without really gaining anything. (In addition, FreeBSD 7.x users are a very small fraction of the portsnap users.) Once there is a significant difference between INDEX-6 and INDEX-7, I will start building and distributing INDEX-7 files via portsnap. For now, Kris' advice is good Kris Kennaway wrote: > setenv INDEXFILE INDEX-6 although personally I'd create a symlink instead: # ln -s /usr/ports/INDEX-6 /usr/ports/INDEX-7 Colin Percival
