build after each cvsup of ports-all. To build INDEX.db, you need a current version of INDEX. I get too many messages from "portsdb -U" and use the sequence "make index" and then "portsdb -u". I run these everytime I cvsup ports-all. The only time you can save is adding "ports/INDEX" to your refuse file. There isn't any point in downloading INDEX and rebuilding it immediately after cvsup finishes.
If you have more ports in your refuse file, running portsdb -U is probably your only choice. Make is known to stop when it hits a port that is missing in your /usr/port fs.
I think I have a better understanding now of this process. It's also clear that I have to spend more time with the available documentation.
Thanks to you both for taking the time to help.
Bob
