portindex.tcl: Generate the port index in a temporary file first, then replace the PortIndex file all at once; fixes #16234


If this is the case cant we easily update the index more than twice a day now? Perhaps even every half hour?

I don't think my commit changes anything for the frequency of portindex updates. All it does is make sure that until the new portindex is done being regenerated, the old portindex is still around so it can be used by other port operations.

I don't know why the portindex is only regenerated every 12 hours.


Ryan, I know you didnt change the update frequency. My point was that with your change in place it seems possible AFTERWARDS to update the index more frequently now that the old index can be used while the new one is building.
