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
