portmanager doesn't need fetchindex, but if you want to make the readme.html's or do things like make search= in /usr/ports then make fetchindex is a good idea. You are going to loose the index every time you cvsup so here is how I would set up a script to automate things as much as possible: cd /usr/ports make update (this assumes you have /etc/make.conf setup for cvsup) make fetchindex portmanager -u > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jeff Hinrichs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Fafa Diliha Romanova" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: portsdb -uU error (I also need some tips) > Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2005 12:55:25 -0600 > > > Fafa Diliha Romanova wrote: > > > Hello! > > > > > > There's been a lot of mess in my ports lately. > > > I want to get rid of this: > > > > > > pkg_delete: package bsdpan-libwww-perl-5.800 has no origin > > > recorded pkg_delete: package bsdpan-libwww-perl-5.800 has no > > > origin recorded > > > > > > Which pops up every time I install/deinstall a port or package. > > > I have done a 'pkgdb -F' which seemed to work. > > > > > > Upon 'portsdb -uU' I get: > > > > > > ######################### > > > > > > Updating the ports index ...
