It's unfortunate that the INDEXFILE defaults haven't been changed with the removal (it's also unfortunate that portsdb -U breaks if INDEXFILE is overriden in make.conf, but that's a portupgrade bug). It might take a while until the necessary additional changes have been reviewed - perhaps using sysutils/portsnap to update your portstree will do as a workaround for the time being (you get matching indices for each ports update).
It's unfortunate that major changes are made without public consultation and then only halfway.
"make fetchindex" runs on the order of a minute for my machine (1 Mbit/s link), but I'm definitely not using "make index" on my K6-2/300.
It's about time for a _fast_ index generator, or a cache so that only changed records are replaced. INDEX has been an annoyance ever since but no-one has a decent solution how ports can do without.
I learned to live without INDEX ages ago but I have an idea on how to easily help others who need it. Why not just make a port of the INDEX file then post a patch everyweek or two to keep it updated?
