/usr/ports/INDEX-9.bz2
One detail.
The size of /usr/ports/INDEX-9 is 26744834.

One wonders if using svn to keep the ports tree up-to-date might not be
simpler, and perhaps, more reliable ...
Yes, but the index file is not part of the svn repository. Normally it
is built periodically on the server, but something seems to be holding
that up, at least for INDEX-9.bz2. It can be downloaded with 'make
fetchindex', or built in place with 'make index' (slow--I think Mr.
Seaman has a Perl version that's probably much faster). portsnap
appears to be getting an updated version, but fetchindex is not.
INDEX-7 and INDEX-8 are leftovers from previous versions of the
operating system. More specifically, from when that ports tree was
running on an earlier OS version on that system. They can be deleted.
