Subject:   Issue with 3.1 making package Index...

Ok. Here is one thats gotten me for far too many hours...

Up until using 3.1, when I made a custom distribution, I also made packages
from the ports tree with "make package". I was also able to generate a somewhat
messy INDEX file for it with "make describe". A little cleanup, and I was
all set.

Unforutnately, it seems that 3.1 softened the "make describe" target, so that
it would list the path to the dependancy, but not the dependancy itself. 
Therefore, when installing, the packages that depended on the target would
complain it wasn't installed. To wit:

3.0 would do this (note: indents are line wraps):

xpm-3.4k|/usr/ports/graphics/xpm|/usr/X11R6|The X Pixmap library.|
	/usr/ports/graphics/xpm/pkg/DESCR|jseger@FreeBSD.org|graphics x11|
	XFree86-3.3.2|XFree86-3.3.2
xlockmore-4.12|/usr/ports/x11/xlockmore|/usr/X11R6|
	Like XLock session locker/screen saver, but just more.|
	/usr/ports/x11/xlockmore/pkg/DESCR|tg@FreeBSD.ORG|x11|
	Mesa-3.0 XFree86-3.3.2 xpm-3.4k|Mesa-3.0 XFree86-3.3.2 xpm-3.4k
                                                               ^^^^^^^^
					Note the format of the dependancy

3.1 does this:

xpm-3.4k|/usr2/tmp/ports/graphics/xpm|/usr/X11R6|The X Pixmap library.|
	/usr2/tmp/ports/graphics/xpm/pkg/DESCR|jseger@FreeBSD.org|
	graphics x11|/usr/ports/x11/XFree86|/usr/ports/x11/XFree86
xlockmore-4.12|/usr2/tmp/ports/x11/xlockmore|/usr/X11R6|
	Like XLock session locker/screen saver, but just more.|
	/usr2/tmp/ports/x11/xlockmore/pkg/DESCR|tg@FreeBSD.ORG|x11|
	/usr/ports/graphics/Mesa3 /usr/ports/graphics/xpm 
	/usr/ports/x11/XFree86|/usr/ports/graphics/Mesa3 
	/usr/ports/graphics/xpm /usr/ports/x11/XFree86

Now it appears with the full path.

So, the questions are) 1.) Am I doing something wrong to generate the
index. 2.) Is the ports collection with 3.1 broken? 3.) If I cvsup to something
newer, will it fix it, and more importantly, will it not break anyting else?
