Updating /usr/ports

[Janos Dohanics]

Hello,

The Handbook says "As needed, update /usr/ports after the initial Git
checkout:

# git -C /usr/ports pull"

[root at frigg ~]# portversion -v | grep -c "<"
[Reading data from pkg(8) ... - 294 packages found - done]

[root at frigg ~]# git -C /usr/ports pull
[...]
855 files changed, 8990 insertions(+), 7435 deletions(-)

[root at frigg ~]# portversion -v | grep -c "<"

However, you also need to 'make index' which the Handbook does not mention:

[root at frigg /usr/ports]# make index

[root at frigg /usr/ports]# portversion -v | grep -c "<"
[Reading data from pkg(8) ... - 294 packages found - done]
