Hi,

I ran into a wrongly named INDEX file today after I did a 'make release' of 
RELENG_7 on a RELENG_6 system which includes the Ports Collection. The index 
file is named INDEX-6 instead of INDEX-7.

A quick look in Mk/bsd.port.subdir.mk shows me that it will read the version 
from the param.h file found in either /usr/include/sys/ or /usr/src/sys/sys/ 
and will name the INDEX- file according to what it found. The first location 
holds the file from of my running system RELENG_6 (outcome of the make 
buildworld on which make release depends); the second location holds the 
RELENG_7 file, checked out during 'make release'. 

Shouldn't it check the param.h file that is in my chrooted environment and use 
the version it finds in there while doing a make release instead of the param.h 
from the make buildworld outcome ? Ofcourse this works fine if you are running, 
let's say RELENG_6 and you want to make a release for that branch as well cause 
then they are equal(ly).

Quickfix would be to specify OSVERSION in the make.conf; however if there is 
already a chrooted env why should you have to specify OSVERSION since it can 
get the exact version from the param.h file in the chrooted env ?

Thanks,

 Marco
