Hi,

On a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p7 machine I maintain a partial port tree by using "porteasy -u foo" to pull in new ports when needed and a daily periodic script to do update /usr/ports as follows:

        cd /usr/ports
        cvs -f -q up
        make fetchindex
        /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -u
        /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -Fa

The CVS/Root entry is: :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs

Recently, I began to experience problem with the cvs repository above, error messages are (from 10 Nov):

        ssh: connect to host anoncvs.FreeBSD.org port 22:
                Operation timed out
        cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server
                (consult above messages if any)

and (from 14 Nov)

        Cannot access /home/ncvs/CVSROOT
        No such file or directory

I now am having problem with (I suspect) the port indices.

If I run "pkg_version -vL=", I get:

        fastest_cvsup-0.2.9_2  >   succeeds port (port has 0.2.9_1)
        p5-Class-DBI-3.0.12    >   succeeds port (port has 3.0.10)
        pear-PEAR-1.4.4        >   succeeds port (port has 1.3.5_1)
        phpbb-2.0.18           >   succeeds port (port has 2.0.17)
        subversion-1.2.3_3     <   needs updating (port has 1.3.0.r2)

while "portversion -vL=" produces:

        cyrus-sasl-2.1.21       <  needs updating (port has 2.1.21_1)
        m4-1.4.3                <  needs updating (port has 1.4.4)

        snort-2.4.3             <  needs updating (port has 2.4.3_1)
        subversion-1.2.3_3      <  needs updating (port has 1.3.0.r2)
        sudo-1.6.8.9            <  needs updating (port has 1.6.8.12)
        webmin-1.240            <  needs updating (port has 1.240_1)
        zip-2.3_2               <  needs updating (port has 2.31)
        zoo-2.10.1              <  needs updating (port has 2.10.1_1)


If I do a "portupgrade zoo", it says:

        ** No need to upgrade 'zoo-2.10.1' (>= zoo-2.10.1)

I have tried the followings but still cannot resolve this:

        pkgdb -Fu
        pkgdb -fu
        portsdb -Fu
        porteasy -ua

I dont think I can do a "portsdb -U" because my portage is partial (am i right ?)

Please HELP!

-cs

p.s. since I realized that anoncvs.freebsd.org is unavialble, I have switched to use anoncvs1.freebsd.org, e.g. in the daily script I use:
"cvs -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ncvs -f -q up"
