Hi,

As an occasional Portfile editor, I prefer to use svn to manage Portfiles
than rsync because that allow me to check diffs or changelogs easily.

One problem is PortIndex.
Everytime I port update to get the latest port tree,
I have to rebuild, which takes a long time to finish.

A regenerated PortIndex is pushed into the subversion repository every 12 hours, so svn updates should catch it.

Is there any easier way of doing this job?
I'm using a bit old Mac, doing portindex everytime is not a easy job.


You should only have to regenerate the PortIndex if you are worried about version changes and need to be able use "port upgrade foo" instead of "cd path/to/foo ; port deactivate foo ; port install"
