The INDEX fetched by "make fetchindex" almost never exactly matches the ports tree that was cvsupped. Usually it works fine but I have seen on more than one occasion where portversion reports ports having a version higher than the one in the INDEX. Consequently, I went back to building my own INDEX locally. It would be nice if there were a way to synchronize your ports tree to the snapshot used to create the INDEX used by "make fetchindex". If I could figure out the date/time for that snapshot, then I could cvsup using a "default date=YYYY.MM.DD.HH.MM.SS" in my supfile. All things considered, I find the tools used to build ports work quite nicely. I've been updating ports several times a week for about 6 or 7 years now with very few problems related to the tools themselves. Thanks, Randy --
