>Description:
	The ports.cgi script uses the CVS version of ports/INDEX{,-5}
	to extract information about which ports and which ports
	versions existed for a particular FreeBSD release.  Now that
	INDEX is no longer kept in CVS this won't work for 4.11, and
	later releases.

	The solution is probably to make some kind of achieve of INDEX
	files for old releases, like what's done for manual pages used
	by man.cgi, and drop using the CVS version of INDEX entirely
	in ports.cgi.
