Updating port

[ Arrgghhh.  I accidentally deleted the message I'm replying to; so I
can't include the context here... ]

Yes, 'cd /usr/ports ; make index' will re-build the INDEX file.

BUT you might want to consider installing and using the portupgrade
tools.  After a CVSup, I run 'portsdb --update-index --update' to
rebuild the index and portsdb files; and then 'portversion --verbose
--inv-limit =' to get a list of installed ports whose versions don't
match the current version in the ports tree.  And when I update a
port it is usually with 'portupgrade --recursive --upward-recursive'
so that it will also upgrade any ports that the target depends on
and any that depend on the target.


[ Note that rebuilding the INDEX file is not fast... ]
