Today Xn Nooby spake forth boldly:

It just does, after you cvsup new ports cd into /usr/ports and type
make fetchindex. what way is the "old foolproof way"?


Here is how I update my system (without using a 'make fetchindex')

 cvsup -g -L 2 /root/stable-supfile
 less UPDATING
 make buildworld
 make buildkernel
 make installkernel
 shutdown now
 cd /usr/src
 make installworld
 mergemaster
 shutdown -r now
 portsdb -Uu
 portversion -l "<"
 portupgrade -arR
 reboot

It takes forever, but it works everytime.  Everything else I've ever tried
has always had some kind of error, and I never know what they mean or what I
should do.

Maybe by never doing a fetchindex, I've never really updated my system, and
thats why its never had a problem, lol. That would be embarassing.
