In my ports supfile, i have...
# On Feb 7 08:56:58 2004 UTC, portupgrade started using "make
# index", part of ports collection, instead of
# make_describe_pass[12], previously included with the port. Now,
# as of Apr 24 2004 UTC, that severely breaks INDEX building if some
# of the ports are missing.
# ----
# Databases/ruby-bdb1 port is need to be built w/ NOPORTSDOC
# option as the port build fails due to missing 'rdoc' although
# it had been stated in textproc/ruby-rdoc's cvs commit/removal
# message that it has become part of Ruby 1.8.
# ----
#*default date=2004.02.06.23.01.01
...so, if you use/compile portupgrade(1) from the above date, you should
have a reasonable INDEX; errors will be generated as usual but missing
directories/dependencies will not stop making of the index.
Do not forget to make a package; if possible compile it static which i
forgot to do.
I use portupgrade & associated software only for INDEX building &
keeping data in /var/db/pkg sane. I do not know or care if
downgrading portupgrade to the above stated date would cause problems
w/ other functions.
