State Changed From-To: open->closed Your point is valid, but, portsdb(1) is not a part of FreeBSD. It's installed by a third-party utility "portupgrade", and thus this issue should be brought up with portupgrade authors. A good contact person would be <koma2@lovepeers.org> |
The portsdb(1) man page states: In addition, considering that the INDEX file often gets outdated because it is updated only once a week or so in the official ports tree, it is recommended that you run ``portsdb -Uu'' after every CVSup of the ports tree in order to keep them always up-to-date and in sync with the ports tree. However, to my best knowledge, the index file is updated not once a week, but every few hours, so the -U option of portsdb becomes unnecesary and costly. Running ``make fetchindex && portsdb -u'' should be enough. Fix: Please update the manual page. How-To-Repeat: man portsdb
