INDEX-5).
A note about the implementation: I had to add the call to chmod to make
the index file readable to everyone. I'm a little bit surprised by this,
since my umask is 022. Either fetch(1) doesn't respect the umask or it
mirrors the permissions too (I haven't investigated this). Both
possibilities aren't documented in the man-page.

- Remove the <category>/pkg/COMMENT files in favour of a COMMENT

- remove useless ${MKDIR} ${WRKSRC} in config target [5]
- remove reference to OpenBSD [6]
- Exempt devel/p5-Module-Build from the self-dependency in
PERL_MODBUILD so that this port may use the option without getting an
infinite dependency list [7]
- The default PERL_ARCH is currently determined as a function of
OSVERSION. It should however be a function of PERL_LEVEL since the
correct value depends on what Perl version one has installed (older
Perl versions use ${ARCH}-freebsd, newer versions use mach). [8]
- Fix PORTDOCS on older (4.7, 5.0) systems [9]
- Allow 'make parallel' to generate a working makefile when not all
categories are present (this does not mean you'll be able to build all
ports, unless you make sure they don't have external dependencies) [10]
- Don't report symlinks as world-writable in the security check [11]
- Fix a comment that was broken by a mismerged patch [12]
- Clarify the meaning of USE_*, WANT_*, WITH_* and WITHOUT_* [13]
- Don't set _CHKSUMFILES/_IGNOREFILES if CKSUMFILES/IGNOREFILES is
empty and DIST_SUBDIR is set. [14]

- Update the documentation of the USE_GL variable [16]
- Check to see if NONEXISTENT exists, and fail with an error if it does [17]
- Fix fetching of new distfiles in 'make makesum' when SIZE is set [18]
- Consistently set MAKE_ENV when USE_GCC=3.2 or 3.3 are set [19]
- Rework INDEX builds: [20]
* Fix the bsd.port.subdir.mk code that is supposed to report index
breakage (the fallback code wasn't actually being run because make
would halt immediately following the error). This should help with
INDEX error reports because it will immediately show the cause of
failure, so we won't have to pull teeth to extract it from the
submitter.
* Streamline the 'make describe' code a bit.
* Provide some basic instructions to the user when an index build
fails, on when and how to report index build failures (turn this off
with INDEX_QUIET=1)
* Removed INDEX_NOSORT, because I couldn't imagine it to be very
useful and it doesn't cost very much anyway.
* Don't prevent INDEX builds from seeing the local host environment.
Since a lot of users are using 'make index' thesedays they should get
an index that reflects their local settings and installed ports. If
you want to build a 'default' index that isn't influenced by local
settings (e.g. for release builds), set the INDEX_PRISTINE variable.
* Allows parallel INDEX builds (using make -j). The most obvious way
of doing this doesn't work, because I/O from child makes is broken up
into 2k chunks, and output lines from 'make describe' that exceed this
length (*cough* GNOME *cough*) will be intertwined with the output of
other makes, leading to a corrupted INDEX. The I/O interleaving
can be disabled using 'make -P', but this inserts extraneous output of
its own, and redirects stderr, making it useless for our purposes.
Instead, I collect the output from the child make processes in
temporary files and recombine them at the end.
* The number of concurrent make processes to spawn can be set using
INDEX_JOBS. By default this is set to 2, which seems to be a sweet
spot for both single and dual-processor systems. On my tests I do not
see any significant performance changes on UP, but on a dual 4.x
system the build time drops by 47% (6 minute index builds on one test
machine!). Depending on your disk and CPU hardware you might see
further gains with INDEX_JOBS=4 or higher, so you might like to
experiment to see what works best. On a dual 5.x system the
performance gains do not seem to be as great (20-30%), but this is
still a significant net win.

associated targets. This is necessary to deal with the substantially
different dependencies of ports between 4.x and 5.0 (e.g. ports that
depend on perl).
LOCALBASE and X11BASE to bogus values during the index build, so
'make describe' does not pick up packages installed on the system and
change the package name or list of dependencies (this will usually
create a broken INDEX file).
* You can now 'make search' from a ports subdirectory. This will
will restrict the search to ports within this subdirectory.
* Added an additional search option to search just the port names,
e.g. 'make search name=foo' will only return ports that have 'foo' in their
name.

(3) Serious speedup of bsd.port.mk startup. In particular, this helps
cut down "make index" time from an hour and a half to 8 minutes on
our system with a parallel make describe (see 2). Try to pass
unchanged variables down from parent makes instead of rerunning
commands to define them, etc.
