However, if you are up-to-date, perhaps you are seeing another problem. `make index` has a known bug in dealing with incomplete copies of the Ports Collection. It assumes that you have a local copy of every single port that every other port that you have a local copy of depends on. To explain, if you have a copy of [.filename]#foo/bar# on your disk, and [.filename]#foo/bar# depends on [.filename]#baz/quux#, then you must also have a copy of [.filename]#baz/quux# on your disk, and the ports [.filename]#baz/quux# depends on, and so on. Otherwise, `make index` has insufficient information to create its dependency tree. -This is particularly a problem for FreeBSD users who utilize man:cvsup[1] to track the Ports Collection but choose not to install certain categories by specifying them in [.filename]#refuse#. In theory, one should be able to refuse categories, but in practice there are too many ports that depend on ports in other categories. Until someone comes up with a solution for this problem, the general rule is is that if you want to build [.filename]#INDEX#, you must have a complete copy of the Ports Collection. +This is particularly a problem for FreeBSD users who utilize man:cvsup[1] to track the Ports Collection but choose not to install certain categories by specifying them in [.filename]#refuse#.

Until someone comes up with a solution for this problem, the general rule is that if you want to build [.filename]#INDEX#, you must have a complete copy of the Ports Collection. There are rare cases where [.filename]#INDEX# will not build due to odd cases involving `WITH__*_` or `WITHOUT__*_` variables being set in [.filename]#make.conf#. If you suspect that this is the case, please try to make [.filename]#INDEX# with those Makevars turned off before reporting it to {freebsd-ports}. |
