Description Wolfram Schneider freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-12-19 17:16:27 UTC 
I got a bug report that https://www.freebsd.org/ports/finance.html is not up-to-date. The page will be updated apparently only once a week. The search script https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi use a database less than a day old.

Looking at en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/ports/Makefile I think the problem is that we do not check every time if there is a newer INDEX files is available. We run fetch(1) in mirror mode, but don't call it until ./INDEX was removed.

Attached is a patch to solve the issue.

The page is still a little bit outdated. Today it says in the footer

instead the expected 3-January-2017

I guess this happens because we are using the env variable PINDEX_OVERRIDE and the file  is outdated.
