Subject:   /usr/ports/finance? WAS [make index fails with repeated "Warning: Duplicate INDEX entry: Stop in /usr/ports/finance" msgs]

Sorry if this second post irks some, but in looking at the warnings /
errors indicated in my earlier post I noted that there is a complaint
about /usr/ports/finance. 

However a quick look at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html reveals
that this ports dir does *not* exist. Now only today, I "rm -rf
/usr/ports/*" and re-cvsup ports-all, so how is it that I could end up
with a ports dir that doesn't exist (at least at the above url)? See:

Looking at finance:
# ls -la finance/

Checking finance/Makefile:
# ls -la finance/Makefile

I'm not a maintainer, but this *does* appear to be out of place here.
Looking at finance/pkg:
# ls -la finance/pkg/

# file finance/pkg/COMMENT

# more finance/pkg/COMMENT
Monetary, financial and related applications

Again, I'm somewhat puzzled by this. I'm not using any ports on this
machine that uses / requires anything to do with financial pkgs nor have
I installed any related ports.., What's this doing here, if its not
actually listed at FreeBSD.org?

Like I said earlier (and confirmed from relevant timestamps), my ports
tree was re-cvsup'ed within only an hour ago.

Could someone that knows (or know's someone that does) fill me in on
this / point me to where I might find out for myself, please?

Cheers

Stacey
