 There is the PortIndex, which is where `port info` gets its information.
 The PortIndex is generated by parsing the Portfiles. Most users receive a
 PortIndex that was created on our servers. Entries in the PortIndex are
 only updated when the `portindex` command is run and only if the
 corresponding Portfile has changed on disk.
