After running CVSup, I've seen people build their "index" via

cd /usr/ports
make index
# wait a frickin' long time

What is the index, and does it really require rebuilding after each CVSup?

It's the index that's used to determine if installed ports are up to date. And yes, it takes a frickin' long time to generate...

I've automated it in my CVSup script, and run it at night, when I don't that it takes a long time. Here's what I do: http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/sheet.cgi?cvsup

Have fun!
