AUTHOR: lofi@FreeBSD.org
Due to the recent removal of INDEX and INDEX-5 from FreeBSD's CVS,
portupgrade with default configuration will run 'make index' if started
after cvsup'ing the ports-collection. This may take an undesirably long
time.
There are several ways to work around this, for example:
- Run 'make fetchindex' after cvsup'ing ports.
or
- Adjust the PORTS_INDEX variable in your environment or in
pkgtools.conf (see portupgrade(1) or the default pkgtools.conf) to
a different value than the default.
