Hi, all I am now using portsnap in FreeBSD 6.0 to upgrade ports tree. It is really much faster than CVSUp. But there is one question that bother me: I cannot change the WORKDIR that portsnap use. I have change WORKDIR in /etc/portsnap.conf to /usr/local/portsnap, but when using 'portsnap fetch', the download files still store in /var/db/portsnap. Any suggestions about this? Thanks in advance! My /etc/portsnap.conf is as follows: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/portsnap.conf,v 1.1.2.1 2005/08/15 20:24:07 cperciva Exp $ # Default directory where compressed snapshots are stored. WORKDIR=/usr/local/portsnap # Default location of the ports tree (target for "update" and "extract"). # PORTSDIR=/usr/ports # Server or server pool from which to fetch updates. You can change # this to point at a specific server if you want, but in most cases # using a "nearby" server won't provide a measurable improvement in # performance. SERVERNAME=portsnap.FreeBSD.org # Trusted keyprint. Changing this is a Bad Idea unless you've received # a PGP-signed email from <security-officer@FreeBSD.org> telling you to # change it and explaining why. KEYPRINT=9b5feee6d69f170e3dd0a2c8e469ddbd64f13f978f2f3aede40c98633216c330 -- Best Regards. Yuan Jue
