But after makeing that change, I'd run: # portsnap fetch extract And know that that next time I wanted to update the ports tree, I'd run: # portsnap fetch update Followed by (since I'd have portupgrade installed) running: # portversion -v | grep needs or some other method of dtermining which ports needed upgrading. But that's just me, and the way I would do it. There are other ways. Don Z.
