Hi Kris,
The following line from /usr/local/sbin/make_describe_pass1:
open(|cd #{dir} make -k -j3 -f -, 'w') do |w|
I changed to:
open(|cd #{dir} make -, 'w') do |w|
now portsdb -U is running for quite some time.
I have no idea what it is doing though.
No, that's not quite what I said..just remove the -j3 and leave the other arguments
untouched.
Kris
Hi Kris,
I did that at first but the problem still remained.
At this time I just cvsupped my ports again, and tried
it again with: open(|cd #{dir} make -k -f -, 'w') do |w|
Still nu luck,
Robert

OK, please verify that you are cvsupping the entire ports collection
(i.e. ports-all), and if so then post the error you receive.

Then why not quit banging you head on a wall and use make index. Your
failure to adapt is spamming the list. Portsdb -U has not produced
totally clean INDEX runs since I can remember. Make index, on the other
hand, is currently producing clean makes.
There are times when one doesn't work and the other does. You just have
to not refuse anything but ports/INDEX.

You just have to not refuse anything but ports/INDEX. make index fails as well with a bunch of make_index: no entrie messages. I guess Ill leave it at this waiting for it to get fixed. You must be not cvsuping everything. I just updated my ports and had no errors with make index. I log everything and I haven't had an error message from make index going back to 30 Jan. I recently deleted everything before that date. Many of these error will creep in if you don't cvsup ports-all. The reason you refuse ports/INDEX is that cvsup will recognize that you replaced INDEX and download an old copy. That takes time even over my 100mps network. Since you are going to replace it by running make index or portsdb -U, you might as well save your bandwidth by refusing it. FWIW, I use both methods. I prefer make index but there are times when it simply dies and portsdb -U will produce useful output. It may not be complete but I may see 10,000+ ports instead of the 300 that make index produced. It pays to be flexible here but there are days when nothing works and the only way is to manually update the port. I track freebsd-ports and frequently see a message from Kris' script before my cron job port update complains or dies from the same reason(s). Frequently, these messages go away in a matter of hours. Sometimes some port committer deserves a pointy hat but that goes with the territory. Any day that you don't make a mistake on a computer is a day that you didn't try to learn anything new. The port committers just get to make their mistake(s) where the whole world can see and all they can do is grin about it :).
