Ports and Index

[Peter Lageotakes]

Hello,

I am writing this email in regards to the following web page:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html

The specific section would be:

"Now create a database with the pkgdb -F command. This will read the 
list of installed ports and create a database file in the /var/db/pkg 
directory. Now when you run portupgrade -a, it will read this and the 
ports INDEX file. Finally, portupgrade will begin to download, build, 
backup, install, and clean the ports which have been updated. 
portupgrade comes with a lot of options for different use cases, the 
most important ones will be presented below."

If I am not mistaken (I could very well be mistaken); the index file 
isn't download when CVS's is run.  Either "make fetchindex" or "make 
index" will create the index (I believe).  Should a step be added to the 
handbook?  I may have misinterpreted the document; perhaps I should have 
double checked with the mailing list.  My apologies if I have used the 
incorrect procedure.

Best regards,
Pete
