Subversion is not relevant; it has not changed the use of the index file. 'portversion' is part of the portupgrade port, and requires not just an index but its own database version of the index file. Building your own index will be slightly more accurate for what is actually on your box, but fetching it will be much faster and nearly always accurate enough. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
