--- Comment #14 from mvoorhis@cs.wpi.edu ---
(In reply to tech-lists from comment #12)

If this isn't going to be repaired, people that track the ports with svn sh=
ould
be told in documentation that they can build their own indexes with, for ex=
mple
on a FreeBSD-11 machine:

cd /usr/ports
/usr/local/bin/svn update
/usr/bin/make index (i.e., to build INDEX-11)
/usr/bin/make index INDEXFILE=3DINDEX-10
/usr/bin/make index INDEXFILE=3DINDEX-12

This is substantially more time consuming than just fetching the index, but
will get you a reliable index file every time.

It's unfortunate that this is necessary because the building of the index h=
as
already been done elsewhere, but since a good index file isn't reliably
available I've been building indexes like this for a long time.
