Hi, # portsnap fetch update ... Building new INDEX files... done. # ls -al /usr/ports/IN* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 26626683 Nov 29 15:17 /usr/ports/INDEX-9 # cd /usr/ports/ [root@localhost /usr/ports]# make fetchindex /usr/ports/INDEX-9.bz2 100% of 1615 kB 160 kBps 00m00s # ls -al /usr/ports/IN* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 26665016 Nov 29 15:20 /usr/ports/INDEX-9 Notice that 'make fetchindex' fetches INDEX-9.bz2 and deletes it at finish. # portmaster -L --index | egrep '(ew|ort) version|total install' /tmp/d-57121-index/INDEX-9.bz2 100% of 1615 kB 164 kBps ... # ls -al /usr/ports/IN* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 26665016 Nov 29 15:25 /usr/ports/INDEX-9 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1654048 Nov 11 11:45 /usr/ports/INDEX-9.bz2 Notice that 'portmaster ...' did NOT delete INDEX-9.bz2 at finish. [root@localhost /usr/ports]# make fetchindex [root@localhost /usr/ports]# # ls -al /usr/ports/IN* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 26665016 Nov 29 15:29 /usr/ports/INDEX-9 # Notice that 'make fetchindex' did NOT fetch a fresh copy of INDEX-9.bz2. Is this a potential problem ? I understand that "Make fetchindex will just fetch the index from a repository server." Could it be that 'make fetchindex' could miss the latest INDEX-9.bz2 on server in case of a long time passed since the old INDEX-9.bz2 was downloaded ? jb
