pkgsrc - make index

[Ulrich Habel <uli%habel.name@localhost>]

Hej,

when creating a INDEX for pkgsrc after getting the tarball
pkgsrc-2006Q4.tar.gz with the command "bmake index" ( I am using Debian
Linux for pkgsrc) it failed with following error message:

newton:/usr/pkgsrc# bmake index
/bin/rm: cannot remove `/usr/pkgsrc/INDEX': No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc


A quick look into the Makefile showed the problem - there is no "-f" for
the option so the build fails if the INDEX file isn't available (like in
the tarballs - and I think even for cvs checkouts).

Can't we just add the "-f" flag to the rm?

I can't see any disadvantages - the mini patch file in Uni format is
attached to the mail.


Regards

Uli
