I’m FreeBSD addict, use ports everyday and can’t live without port 🙂
Today, one of our server don’t seem hit firewall restriction and I nothing I can do .
I see INDEX-6 everytime I try to issue command : make fetchindex but nothing show up.
After scp INDEX-6 from other server I can update the ports.
ftp# cd /usr/ports
ftp# make fetchindex
^Cfetch: transfer interrupted
ftp# portversion -v | grep ‘<‘
Fetching the ports index …
^Cfetch: transfer interrupted
failed to fetch INDEX!
Updating the ports index … failed to generate INDEX!
index generation error
