[I'm not subscribed to ports@; please CC me] I'm installing my first 5.x box and playing with portupgrade, and I've just spent half a day working out why "portupgrade -N firefox" wasn't working (while it works fine on the 4.x build box). Firstly, it took a while to work out the INDEX-5 vs INDEX issue. Then it was clear that INDEX-5 is updated in CVS much less frequently than INDEX - by looking at CVS logs, it seems only at release time. I'm currently running a "make index" but this takes hours... What is the policy with INDEX-5? Is relying on CVSup for this always going to be futile?
