[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello FreeBSD docs guys, It looks like there is a small bug on the 'Using portsnap' page [1]: | Adding the following line to /etc/crontab will cause portsnap to | update its compressed snapshot and the INDEX files in /usr/ports/, and | will send an email if any installed ports are out of date: | | 0 3 * * * root portsnap -I cron update && pkg_version -vIL= Running portsnap with multiple commands does not work when portsnap is built from ports. An extra 'Note' should be added below: | Note: Portsnap from Ports does not understand multiple instructions at | a time. Replace 'portsnap -I cron update' with 'portsnap cron && | portsnap -I update'.
