Hello,

I noticed today that portscout build and rebuild were not actually
updating the portscout database today and apparently hadn't been since
the upgrade from 0.7.4. I am using the restrict maintainer setting to
only get updates for my own ports and in investigating what was going on
I discovered that the INDEX checks for ports and maintainers were using
the wrong fields (I'm not sure if the INDEX format has changed since
portscout 0.8 was written). Anyway, I've attached a patch that fixes the
problem for me.

Thanks!

Thanks for the patch! It'll make it into the next release of portscout.
This appears to be an inexplicable oversight, as the required INDEX
fields haven't moved in any of the format changes, as far as I can tell.
