Message-ID: <20021015045004.GA38128@doublegemini.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm curious how /usr/ports/INDEX gets updated; currently, for example postgresql is listed as: postgresql-7.2.2|/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7| however, if you look at the Makefile in the postgresql7 directory, it says: PORTVERSION?= 7.2.3 Is INDEX intended to be reliable or must Makefile be parsed if an automated process is to be run against ports?
