I've seen this problem when cvsup runs after "make index" - patch conflict stuff is left in the file for you to resolve, and it's not in the right format for INDEX. If you're going to make your own INDEX, you should put INDEX in the cvsup refuse file to avoid this. Also, make index will do odd stuff if you have any ports in the cvsup refuse file, because there will be dependencies that can't be resolved - and the error messages, which I think are also left in the generated INDEX, again are not in the expected INDEX format. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net.
