Considering that a user who has already used Portsnap for the first time will not want to update the compressed snapshot of the Ports Collection he has already extracted. He will need to fetch a new snapshot when he wants to update the Ports Collection. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: To fix this problem I suggest we change said part to: After the first use of Portsnap has been completed as shown above, /usr/ports can be updated with: # portsnap fetch # portsnap update >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
