Server-side, the new PortIndex is only committed to svn after it is finished being regenerated, so an end user could never get a partial index from rsync. The issue with there being a partial index was only present when the index in a local ports tree was rebuilt. The one advantage to end users of updating the PortIndex more often would be that new ports would be available sooner. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
