Hi list,
after the security announcement
(http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html) I use svn to
update my local ports tree. I've found out that the port index is not
updated. What is the preferred/recommended way to update port indexes
when using svn?
Unless you are a ports committer I recommend you use portsnap to
update your ports tree. It takes care of the INDEX file too.

One reason to use svn over portsnap would be that you can do a port
downgrade if needed. Before we had ports-mgmt/portdowngrade for this but
that relies on CVS which is no longer supported. Maybe there's another
way that I'm missing.
