I ran a cvsup this morning and now when running a make index I get several
errors. I also am getting several errors when running a make search
key=mono |more
I figured I would just clean out the ports dir and start over. However I
don't want to go though and remove everyfile and ever dirrectory from the
ports tree. And the man for rmdir only has a -p switch.
Not sure what the question is, but I gather you're looking for the
remove recursive?
Be careful with this one:
rm -rf whatever
Just don't use '*' for whatever. If you inadvertently use that from
the wrong place, you'll loose a lot more than you bargained for.
Before you do that though, just go to the ports directory and type:
make fetchindex
which will go get an updated INDEX file.
I also seem to remember there is a problem rebuilding the index when
you have ports subdirectories in the refuse file. I had a similar
problem in 5.2.1, but I don't remember ever rebuilding the index in
4.10.
