Or you could run the portindex program manually if you wanted to. If you want to do that, you need to cd to the dports directory before doing so. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
