It seems that a number of the +CONTENTS files were deleted somehow and I can't trace back to when or how it happened. Is there some way to regenerate the +CONTENTS files for all installed packages/ports or am I resigned to rebuilding/reinstalling the ports (a long and tedious process since it's on a slow machine)?
