I know that 'portupgrade' uses the INDEX file. What I am not sure of, is if I need the file if I am not using 'portupgrade'. I use 'portmanager' which claims it does not require the INDEX file. If I do not need it, then I assume it is safe to not bother building it or fetching one. Does the INDEX file serve any other purpose? -- Thanks! Gerard Seibert gerard-seibert@suscom.net
