Re: Creating install CD with custom ports - how to massage INDEX file?

I built the release with NO_PORTS=yes, because I'm building the ports

/usr/ports CVS, plus locally written software in ports format. I've
ensured that the tree is closed under the dependency operation (to use
some math jargon) - essentially that means that my ports subset includes
all the dependencies of every port I'm including and all of *its*
run/build dependencies in the tree, even if not being built. That
allows the dependency graph to be calculated and the INDEX-6 file to be
built properly.

In which case, you should be able to "cd /usr/ports && make index"
