I'm trying 9-CURRENT and so far having none even minor problems with exception of INDEX-9: don't understand why portsnap doesn't build it.

Add this to /etc/portsnap.conf:
INDEX INDEX-9 DESCRIBE.9

Thanks. I tried...it complains about DESCRIBE.9 and "INDEX-9 was not built..."

In that case, DESCRIBE.9 is not yet distributed by the portsnap mirrors. I guess the 9-fork is too recent.

Very likely. Exact output is:
Building new INDEX files... DESCRIBE.9 not provided by portsnap server; INDEX-9 not being generated.
But it's already about a month. Portsnap updates ports normally so snapshot is generated as usual just INDEX-9 is ignored. If cd /urs/ports && make index INDEX-9 appears but it takes around 20 min and after next portupgrade to make index again :). I tried make fetchindex but then got a few ports "> succeeds index".
Actually not a big deal: csup still exists but...just curious.
