>Description:
"make readmes" will (apparently) hang after issuing a message
if a category directory is missing (Actually, it's a cat waiting
for EOF on stdin, but this is not obvious). So, if chinese is missing,
you'll see "cd: can't cd to chinese"; then everything just stops.
>How-To-Repeat:
If any of the category directories is missing, cd /usr/ports ; make readmes.
>Fix:
Work around: Hit CTRL-D whenever you get the "can't cd to <blah>"
message. This will allow the process to continue, but the
generated toplevel README.html will contain some minor
formatting gaffes.
A better fix would be to alter /usr/ports/Makefile or bsd.ports.subdir.mk
to check for the existence of a category directory before attempting
to use it. The following is against /usr/ports/Makefile; I haven't
looked at bsd.ports.subdir.mk long enough to feel comfortable with
it.
