I just tried it and it does not change the behaviour of cache-update. cache-update still shows a short burst of activity before it becomes idle, but does not return to the command promt. But if I understand it correctly, isn't the whole purpose of the portindex-suite to provide yet another mechamism to create an up to date INDEX(-5) file, but both being faster than 'make index' (portsdb -U) and more up to date than 'make fetchindex'? So wouldn't the 'make fetchindex' kind of defeat the purpose of using portindex? Sorry, for all the questions, I am still trying to figure this all this out for myself. I am still quite unexperienced in FreeBSD .. ;-) Christopher
