The portsnap-servers seem to lack updates at the moment, so I decided to try to switch to SVN. I usually run `pkg version` to see what packages have changed. Previously, that was a more or less instant operation, now it takes over 100 seconds. The problem is that /usr/ports/INDEX-12 is missing. Looks like INDEX doesn't exist in SVN but was provided by portsnap. make index takes several minutes, so that's a quite a downgrade from portsnap where I got it for free. Are there any faster ways to regenerate INDEX? There's make fetchindex but that's not guaranteed to be in sync with the latest SVN. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
