I do not have a lot of free time. It's unfortunate that the INDEXFILE defaults haven't been changed with the removal (it's also unfortunate that portsdb -U breaks if INDEXFILE is overriden in make.conf, but that's a portupgrade bug). It might take a while until the necessary additional changes have been reviewed - perhaps using sysutils/portsnap to update your portstree will do as a workaround for the time being (you get matching indices for each ports update). -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
