Extra fields in INDEX

[Chris Rees]

Hi all,

I'm having a look at modifying INDEX to have a field at the end (to
cause minimum breakage), but I've discovered that in a few ports there
(6630 out of 22731) appears to be extra 'stuff' in fields past field
10 (which is for the first WWW: line in pkg-descr).

Can anyone with knowledge of make index explain why this is happening?
Using the command line at [1] gets a list

[crees at hydra]~% alias findextrasinindex "< `make -C /usr/ports -V
INDEXDIR`/`make -C /usr/ports -V INDEXFILE` grep -n
'^\([^|]*|\)\{11\}[^|]\+'"

[crees at hydra]~% findextrasinindex | wc -l
    6630

They have extra fields on the end ... Where have they come from??
