When you grab the latest ports via SVN, your INDEX files will be quite out of date. Delete them, and grab an up to date version by 'make fetchindex' (or by building your own) IIRC INDEX-8.db is something generated by portupgrade automatically from INDEX-8. > 2) what of the "distfiles" directory Save this. Move it aside when you do your initial SVN checkout, and then copy the content back into place under /usr/ports/distfiles It won't interfere with subsequent SVN updates. Cheers, Matthew
