Will it take care of my INDEX-9 file for FreeBSD 9-CURRENT with the
following setting I just appended to /etc/portsnap.conf ?
# tail -n 1 /etc/portsnap.conf
INDEX INDEX-9 DESCRIBE.9

I'm not sure (no irony, really asking), because "portsnap update -I"
does not modify /usr/ports/INDEX-9. Maybe DESCRIBE.9 is not
distributed on the portsnap servers.
