I always generated the INDEX file myself (yes, it's indeed resource and time consuming). When I encountered trouble some time ago, I learned from this mailing list that I can use "make fetchindex" and that this is actually better. I then frequently encounter following problem: Since I am in Korea, I used cvsup.kr.freebsd.org for cvsup-ing my ports. However, the 'make fetchindex' dowloads the INDEX file from elsewhere, which may not be in sync with my Korean cvsup host. So I get conflicts when checking port versions and upgrading outdated ports. To solve this problem, I now always sync my ports with one of the main cvsup hosts: cvsup[n].freebsd.org. So the Korean freeBSD hosts have become useless to me. Am I doing something wrong?
