Depends on your time and harddisk speed I suppose. You could:
for CAT in *; do
if test -d ${CAT}; then
cd ${PORTSDIR:="/usr/ports"}/${CAT}
for PORT in *; do
if test -d ${PORT}; then
cd ${PORT}
make -V DISTNAME >>/usr/ports/distname.idx
cd ..
fi
done
fi
done
This would give you a distname index to work with. I checked INDEX-6 but don't
see a DISTNAME listed in there. I suppose I'd make the decision myself based
on how many I can't locate. Doing this for 10 ports I can easily guess myself
is nice for academics, but not when you're on the clock.
