Because INDEX-7 and INDEX-8 are (have been) mostly identical, so while 8.0 is -CURRENT is hasn't been deemed that the extra build time on the portsnap servers was worth it. The longer a portsnap snapshot build takes, the longer the delay between ports commit and it showing up in peoples /usr/ports using portsnap. The workaround is to set the following in make.conf: INDEXFILE?= INDEX-7 I know Colin Percival has been talking about adding INDEX-8, so I expect it will show up in portsnap soon. Do note that AFAIR it requires that the client also be updated after the new INDEX-8 is generated so you won't get it without upgrading world. -- Simon L. Nielsen
