Improving /usr/ports/Makefile ?

[Aleksandar Simic]

Hello,

from time to time you see people asking on questions why is it that
their 'make index' is failing after they cvsup-ed all but excluded
some region specific ports directories, most commonly:

arabic, chinese, hebrew, hungarian, japanese, korean, polish,
portuguese, russian, ukrainian, vietnamese

Could a check be added to see if the above directories, or any other
'undesirable' ones are non existant and if they are, that they should
be ignored ? 


Something like this:


*** /usr/ports/Makefile	Sat May  1 14:20:36 2004
--- /tmp/Makefile	Sat May  1 09:27:44 2004
