This is a very bad idea; locally generated INDEX contains all
use-defined OPTIONS, etc. while the fetched one contains only the
defaults thus his has the potential to break the wonderful
upward-recursive usage of portupgrade.
In the man page of portsdb(1), I wrote as follows:
-U
--updateindex Update or create the INDEX file by running ``make index''.
If you define special macros in /etc/make.conf and
the dependency of some ports are changed, you should create
INDEX by yourself by using this option. Otherwise, using
-F option is recommended since it is much faster.
I forgot to mention OPTIONS, so I will add in the next release.
I hope this sentence would satisfy you.
