Dang! It would help if I could spell ports right. :/

You are stumbling on a change made to speedup the generation
of the INDEX file. What 'make describe' produces is scrubbed
by ports/Tools/make_index before it makes it into the INDEX file.
I think if you built a full INDEX (which is alot faster now :)
with 'make index', built your packages, and then did something
like this:
bsd[/usr/ports]$ cat > myindex.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
$pkgdir='/usr/ports/packages/All';
while (<>) {
@f = split('\|');
print if (-f "$pkgdir/$f[0].tgz");
}
^D
bsd[/usr/ports]$ perl myindex.pl INDEX > MYINDEX
MYINDEX would contain only the INDEX lines for the packages
you made. I don't think this directly answered any of your
questions, but hopefully it gives you an example of a pretty
simple workaround. :)
