users who uses only FreeBSD -CURRENT, and building these indexes are
only useful to those who share ports tree across different FreeBSD
releases, and system administrator with that need can always enable
this behavior.
MFC after: 2 weeks (only the principals, not actual change)
The Portsnap buildbox now generates teh bits needed for portsnap to produce
INDEX-8; and it hasn't built INDEX-5 for a long time, although the bits are
still distributed for an INDEX-5 from when FreeBSD 5.x reached its EoL.

entire ports tree before asking for help on the mailing lists.

of the form "REFUSE foo" in portsnap.conf will result in parts of the
tree matching "^foo" being (a) not extracted by "portsnap extract", (b)
not updated by "portsnap update", and (c) not having any patches or new
ports downloaded by "portsnap fetch" or "portsnap cron". The example
shown in portsnap.conf demonstrates ignoring all the language categories.
As mentioned in portsnap.conf.5, the use of an imcomplete ports tree is
not officially supported; but this is something which many users have
requested, so I'm adding it anyway.

fast, lightweight, and generally good way for users to keep their
ports trees up to date.
This is version 0.9.4 from the ports tree (sysutils/portsnap) with
the following changes:
1. The experimental pipelined http code is enabled. No seatbelts
in -CURRENT. (^_^)
2. The working directory has moved from /usr/local/portsnap to
/var/db/portsnap (as discussed on -arch two days ago).
3. Portsnap now fetches a list of mirrors (distributed as DNS SRV
records) and selects one randomly. This should help to avoid the
uneven loading which plagues the cvsup mirror network.
4. The license is now 2-clause BSD instead of 3-clause BSD.
5. Various incidental changes to make portsnap fit into the base
system's build mechanics.
